Happy Groundhog Day! Wiarton Willy and Punxsutawney Phil did see their shadows today, so six more weeks of winter in sight. Hang in there, everyone.

Napkin Art - Taking Stock (everything's coming up roses)
I know I am not alone in being a doodler. Nothing is safe - the newspaper, telephone book, napkins. If I have a pen in hand any sheet of paper is in danger of being obliterated by doodles.
Tuesday, as I ate lunch, I mused (obsessed), pen in hand, on how best to move forward with my career. To my surprise, this doodle was much calmer than one I drew a while ago - me flailing between two pieces of bread, a palette where the lunch meat should go. Of course, the doodling progressed to another napkin - penguins in the shape of pink pearl erasers and and me naked doing fan dances with palettes instead of fans, but that's a whole other napkin.
Later that afternoon, thanks to Beaux-Arts Brampton artist Steve Wilson, I learned of a new art fair in Toronto, Art-2009. Thanks to the help of a very affable organizer, I found myself, the proud inhabitant of Booth 465 0f the upcoming Art 2009, May 12 -14th, 2009, in the Toronto Convention Centre.
I wonder if the fact I used the good flowered napkin was a sign ?
