Pat and I celebrated our fourth anniversary this week, and on Saturday he came up with a very convincing reason why Christine really wanted us to stop by the gallery. 😅 After a crazy day with the girls, we rushed over — a little late. Sorry, Christine, that was on me! ☺️

But the moment I opened the doors, a beautiful surprise was waiting for me. 🌹

A trail of rose petals led through the gallery to a heart on the floor, right in front of Eros by Carl White @whitepaint — a painting I fell in love with the first time I saw it.🔥

And then I found out… Pat had bought Eros for me for our anniversary. ❤️

What makes it even sweeter is that Christine has been part of our story from the beginning. Four years ago, at the charity movie night I organized on Pat’s rooftop, she was basically Pat’s wingman, helping him get closer to me. 😂 And four years later, she was helping him pull off another surprise.

Thank you, Christine and Candice, for staying late and making this moment so special.
...
And Pat — thank you for Eros, and even more for standing beside me through the good, the difficult and everything in between. ❤️

May our Eros — and our love — last for many, many more years.💕😻💕🦊

And if you’d like to see Eros — now with its little red dot 🔴 — and the rest of Carl White’s gorgeous work, his 21 Meditations exhibition is at @ckgyyc until October 17. Definitely worth a visit. 🎨✨

15 STONES

Inspired by Kyoto’s Ryoan-ji rock garden, Carl White’s new cast objects combine raw concrete, gestural script, graffiti-like marks and flashes of colour in a meditation on perception, balance and what remains unseen.
