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.

Trying to Juggle

So, I have finished the last "quilt" art piece that is to go into the Loft Gallery show for November-December. I got a total of five small paintings done! Yippee!! Tomorrow, I deliver my pastel pieces to St. Albert for the weekend show. Friday night there is the VASA fundraiser as well as the artist/opening reception for the St. Albert show "A Harvest of Art". And beginning Thursday I start making some pieces for the Christmas marketplace (November 17-18) at the Red Barn/Ottewell Centre, Sherwood Park.

Yikes! With all the final preparations for the Open Studio tour this weekend (June 24-25) in Sherwood Park, I forgot to post another show in which you can view some of my small mixed media pieces.
