Modern Works/New Artists

The group show, Modern Works/New Artists opened on Friday June 19th at Agnes Bugera Gallery in Edmonton, Alberta .   I couldn't be at the opening but Edmonton friends took this photo for me.  Here's a closeup shot of the painting in the window.           Night Garden 15 42x48" Oil/wax on panel   ©2010 Janice Mason Steeves  I am embedding a Rumi poem in many of the pieces.  One of the poems I love is entitled, “Bend, Tend, Disappear“ from the book The Illuminated Rumi , translated by Coleman Barks.   "This is how you change when you go to the orchard where the heart opens: You become fragrance and the light that burning oil gives off."
