Perivale closed for the season

The Perivale Gallery has now shut its doors for the winter and this is one of the pieces I picked up yesterday. I still seek a good commercial gallery that is not so seasonal. Until then, I'll store the stuff.

David Reid and Ivan Wheale (with his wife Jean) were also picking up their paintings and it was nice to accept Sheila McMullan's offer of a glass of wine and share some stories with everyone for a bit. Ivan Wheale is the Perivale's main 'seller' and is being honoured with a large retrospective this coming January at the Art Gallery of Sudbury. He also has gallery representation in Toronto at the Odon Wagner gallery.
