Dear Readers,
I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of you who have been following along with my blog this first month. I also want to apologize for the length of this two-part blog post. Artist’s block is a complex and deeply personal topic, and I wanted to give it the attention and depth of breath it deserves. I promise that my future posts will be shorter—maybe!
This month’s blog theme has been about getting to know me and discussing the subjects that are so precious to me. I deeply love art and have a more profound passion for masks and mask-making. I have been blessed to travel extensively, sharing my passion for masks with hundreds of thousands of people, from the very young to the young at heart, from one coast of Canada to the other and deep into the far northern provinces and territories of the Canadian Arctic.
Thank you all so much for your engagement, feedback, and support. It means the world to me, and I feel fortunate to have such a dedicated readership. Thank you for reading, sharing your thoughts, and embarking on this creative journey with me.
Thank you to my dear friend Mathieu René for his invaluable support and insight. His encouragement has been instrumental in my artistic journey and the creation of TheaterLunaire. Please visit his Instagram and show him gratitude. He has personally spent hours working on the videos for this past blog post and narrated them.
Also, thank you to Roberta, who has been helping me create this website from scratch and building it from the ground up, paid in cookies at times. It means so much to me for all the help you have given me in making this website look so wonderful and inviting.
Don’t think I have forgotten you, Howie, Janet, Shirley, Esther, Rebecca and Greg. What can I say about you fine folks, my V.I.P’s, other than I wish I had a million followers like you? You have continuously been there over the years and encouraged me in my darkest hours. Remember that hair-raising event with the buffalo, Janet? My grey hair came in that day.
Lastly, Thank you and welcome to all the newcomers for following me on my other social media platforms and leaving supportive, fantastic, insightful, and encouraging comments. We at Theater Lunaire aim for the moon and always land among the stars.
Thank you again for your continued support!
Your Friendly Neighbourhood Mask Maker,
Douglas Witt
