Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition 2015

Greatest story of the weekend for me at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition (aside from a million others)... Saw a woman admiring my work, she compliments, picked up my cards and just as she was about to leave, I say to her I know you from some where. Couldn't quite put my finger on it.

Anyway after a few moments of back and forth trying to pin-point where I might've known her from... She asks me where did you go to school. Finally figured out that she was my grade 12 teacher. 

Without missing a beat I say to her... Your the teacher that gave me a 50% in art, on my last year. That mark affected my whole post secondary school options. It was because of that mark I had to "redo" some of grade 12, in a different high school to "upgrade" my mark. And basically led me down a completely different path than the one I thought I was going to take. Her reaction was priceless! 

All good, it is what it is and life worked itself out. But the fact that moment took place in my booth, in my first TOAE show... talk about a full circle moment :)
