Wild Woman! getting into the 'spirit' of the Morden woods during what the Canadians call Indian Summer! Amazingly enough this picture was taken less than 1 week before minus zero temperatures and 10 inches of snow!
Visit up north to Cranberry Portage to meet up with Irvin Head. It was about an 11 hour drive. Obviosly the locals are accustomed to the cold!! you can certainly tell I'm a tourist from a warmer climate!

Just arrived in chilly Canada after 10 days of intense travelling through Singapore, Paris , Munich and Los Angeles!! Made contact with several galleries and gave them samples of NSW contemporary Indigenous art. Some of the commercial galleries were very interested... so hopefully I have opened a door there. My itinerary for Canada will be quite full and I am really looking forward to gaining a more intimate understanding of the native culture and art.We are still awaitng the freight of my artworks which I sent on 15th September!
