Wow.. so that was the Toronto Art Expo.  I thought I’d give it one more try but this show was, in truth, a shadow of its former self.  I did enjoy the experience but I can envision myself doing far fewer of these shows in future years, and I think we can put a fork in this one, it seems to be done.

One comment I received was from Patrick Donohue of Dillettantes’s Diary, who wrote about the Art Expo and offered this: “Peter Colbert’s abstracts still have remarkable appeal with their serene expression though broad swatches of colour.”

I’ve moved to a temporary studio in Torontos west side as we’re doing some major renos at our house located further west, near the Mississauga border.  I love the huge ceilings and natural light so hopefully it will work out.  We’re making the move to Ottawa in a few months but I’ll be making commutes to Toronto, by far my biggest market, a couple of times a month.

Someday I’m going to get better and more consistent with this blogging thing but for now, I’m just going to toss another one out there.

I’ve decided to enter the Toronto Art Expo once again, which is actually going to be my 5th year in a row.  It’s worked out to be good timing, more than a full month after the Arstist Project which was in early March.  Likely it will also be my last trade show exhibition this year.

I’ll have some of my smaller matted pieces on the floor for sale as well as my usual abstract landscapes, with a dash of figurative paintings this time around, an accumulation of work from some of my Tuesday night drop in sessions at the Neilson Creative Centre out here in Etobicoke.
