Sneak Preview of Calgary

I didn’t have time to get to the entire post today, so I thought I’d just include this amazing piece of art (it must have been at least 15 ft long) from the lobby of my hotel.  It was called Hotel Arts!  Very appropriate for a colour designer I thought :)

I was treated like royalty yesterday, I just had the best day!  Details to follow soon!  It was only an hour flight but I felt jetlagged today – very strange.

I'm sure it's the adrenaline rush followed by the adrenaline deficit.

Looking forward to reading about your trip.

For some reason I am really into horse art lately.
I went to the Pasadena Show house last week, and there were many beautiful paintings of horses throughout the house (the owners must be equestrians). I loved them.
Hope everything went well this week.
Can't wait to hear.

Maria,

Glad you had a royal time and you were queen for a day. People will find that your role as a teacher, lecturer, blogger and designer is priceless.

Look forward to learning more from your current event experience.

So looking forward to hearing all about your trip - the conference - everything! And I agree... beautiful painting. Love how the artist has juxtaposed a very life-like horse with an abstract decoupage (sp?) and colourfully painted background. I also love the size of the piece and that it's a triptic!
