Apparently Rossini and Wagner didn't get along. Rossini once said that Wagner created some wonderful moments of music, usually followed by a quarter of an hour of bad music. Wagner shot back that he wondered who would be left to promote Rossini's music when Rossini died. I won't take sides in this argument, believing that there is enough good in both the maestros' music to please countless music fans for generations to come. But I can relate to Rossini in his belief in self-promotion. If you are in Vancouver please come to the Artists In Our Midst opening on April 28th at 7 p.m. It is at the Roundhouse in Yaletown. My work will be at studio 10 on the Saturday and Sunday after that (April 30th and May 1st) from 10 a.m. till 6 p.m.
For the next two weeks I have prints up at Finn's Menswear on West Broadway, and at Quadro framing on West 10th at Trimble.
