Display for this holiday at Leslieville

Last Thursday I went to the Arts Market [the Leslieville location] for organizing a bit my booth after 8 p.m.  It was a freezing cold yet dark evening.  On the street I barely saw people passing. I quickly got a parking spot and rushed into the Arts Market.  The owner of the Arts Market, Daniel, waited at the entrance.  When I got into the store, it was totally another scene. I couldn't say it was fully packed, on the other hand, I gladly saw warm and smiling faces there.  It was so nice to see varied artists working hard on their booth there. An artisan brought her dog as an assistant [seemingly] to decorate the booth together, while another busily hung his wall arts with the help of his daughter, mother, wife and brother.  What great teams are!  

Honestly I was a bit guilty that I didn't have their diligence and, of course, envied of their teammates.  My son, Jaden, was still too young for this.  I hope one day he can be involved in fulfilling my artistic dream. On this visit, I first launched my Sumi-e series in public and hopefully it would be accepted by the viewers. 

After a busy night, I went back to my warmest hub and slept tight with Jaden for a sweet dream. 

Arts Market Shop @ Relaxing Leslieville

Hi there,

Starting from October, I have displayed my art works at the Arts Market, which locates at 1114 Queen Street East, Toronto.  This time, I showcase my porcelain paintings and my Sumi-e paintings as well.

A slogan of "Paper isn't the only canvas!" is a good vehicle to shout out my painting point of view. Yes,  all those years I have diligently worked on my artworks, until recently, I realize my painting desire is expressed beyond a piece of paper, but different kind of porcelain wares, i.e. tiles, cups, vase and so on.   Last Sunday, while I was doing my display there, a nice lady approached me and wondered what kind of work I did.  I simply told her I painted on the stuff, not just on paper. Then I showed her the painted tiles and explained to her I even put them on my kitchen's wall.

In Leslieville, there are a number of varied shops, bistro and dine-out with characteristics.  This place is absolutely good for couples, duos and group of friends who want to spend a relaxing weekend. I think, if you are tired of the standard shops and places in the giant shopping mall or plaza, you will find charm in this neighbourhood.

Please drop by there between Wednesday to Sunday from noon to 7 p.m.
