The National Gallery

During my 3 days in Ottawa I visited the national gallery of Canada 3 times, 2 1/2 hours day one, 4 1/2 hours day 2 and 2 1/2 hours day 3. What a wonderful facility we have for our Canadian art, I loved walking around in the large sunlight spaces let to my own thoughts, absorbing what I had just seen or planning what I wanted to do with my photography, a glorious 3 days.

Now that I have visited the gallery, touched its walls, walled its shows, somehow it all seems a bit less intimidating. I can see one of my works or maybe a few hanging in this space someday, it is a possibility, less remote than it was before this trip, it all seems achievable now.
