Weekend course Great Inspiration!

I took a weekend course with painter Cindy Revell on 'Whimsical Painting." The class of fourteen had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend in which we learned a lot and for most students produced two pieces of work. For me, I came away with some new ideas for future projects based on this theme of "whimsy". New to painting, I did not complete two works but I am going to complete one smaller work entitled "On the Edge."

Still needs a bit of work or fine tuning....

Juried into A.S.A. show "Air"

I just received notification that my two works have been accepted into an upcoming A.S.A. show titled "Air". I do not know all the details such as location(s) and duration, but once I do I will let you know.  Very happy with this news!!

The First Blog for 2018

Wow! I can not believe that I have not posted anything for over four months. I have been busy with some shows and, of course, painting. Most of my winter shows have come and gone but I do have a couple upcoming spring shows. The first is a VASA show (St. Albert) which will feature three of my "quilt" acrylic paintings. This show runs all of April with the artist/opening reception Thursday (today!) from 6-9 p.m.. Then there is the annual spring show for the Strathcona Society of Artists. This show runs April 17-19. I will have a variety of works in this show.

My solo show at the local cafe Common Ground (Sherwood Park) is wrapping up this Friday and I am preparing for another solo show at the Glenrose Hospital. In the meantime, I am trying to complete some larger acrylic paintings for an upcoming show sponsored by the Alberta Society of Artists. These paintings will all be based on quilt patterns.

So, now I am off to pick up my brushes and palette and get to work.
