A Spring Art Show With a Twist

So in this year's annual art show for the Strathcona Art Society it was decided that artists would choose a photo (submitted from the public) and interpret the image in their own style. Up to three artists could work with a particular image. So with the photo I chose there were two other artists who also did representations of that image. It was really interesting to see our interpretations done in three different mediums (soft pastel, oil and acrylic). I  thought this innovative approach to
establishing an art show worked really well....loved the look

Winter Thaw...Spring Thaw and Spring Shows

With winter finally behind us and spring on the horizon, the art shows are coming fast and furious. I have works in several group exhibitions; the first show is this weekend (March 29-31) at the Ottewell Centre/Red Barn in Sherwood Park.

The next show is in St. Albert at the Hemingway Centre (VASA) for their annual spring members show. Two of my works were juried into this show. I also have two works in the "Uncommon Threads" exhibition in Spruce Grove. (April 16 to May 3).

 I also have a solo exhibition at the Glenrose Hospital of my acrylic "quilt paintings" which opens tomorrow (March 29) and runs until June 27.
