Fall Art and Events

My booth at the Artful Hands Show, Kincardine Pavilion last weekend.  

A little bit of felting and a lot of art inspired by the lake nearby.

PD day kids birch trees at the Kincardine Library. 

I have the opportunity to volunteer at the Kincardine Library teaching kids workshops during some of the PD days in the past year,  This is what they did last week.  It is free for the kids and fun for me!

A Place to Paint

Finally.  I feel like I am working.  We moved in July, my paints were in boxes crammed in a piled up disaster until our basement and my new studio were finished.  

I am very excited.  My studio is  almost unpacked, almost ready for classes but the best and most important - I have a window, good lighting and I am busy.  And, I am now an Independent Consultant with Arbonne, a botanical based health and wellness company.  Lots going on.

This week I am featured in the local papers as a new member of the Victoria Park Gallery in Kincardine.  Lisa Farrell moves home after 22 years and loves living by the lake!  Yes, I do.  

Today I am felting a beret and painting in preparation for Artful Hands November 29 and 30.

Arts Quinte West Featured Artist

This month I am the featured artist at the Arts Quinte West Gallery downtown Trenton.
On display are WaterStudies, floral and some feathered friends.  Plus one Pipe Band.  I love pipers!  I like to throw one in the painting mix every once in while.  This little painting is of the Prince Edward Hasting Band. 
Most of my work is done in oils or mixed media (acrylic, tissue papers or impasto and oil glazes).  I have some small Encaustic work also.
I also have some felted berets and scarves for sale.

My latest piece is a donation to the Gallery for the December fundraising show, Art Squared.  Can you see the price?  All 12" square pieces are only $50.  I have other pieces in the 12" square $50 selection too.

 

Event Planning

My January goal of event planning for 2011 has finally fallen into place. Primarily due to my participation on the Arts Quinte West Steering Committee, soon to be Board of Directors at the next AGM. The events are in place. First up the Quinte West Home in April and then the UpFront Art Show in June. Both here in Trenton.

If only Grandma and Grandad could have stayed longer but Saskatchatoon calls. Sorry, I can't resist quoting from Adam Sandler's Grown Ups lately. I do have one new painting finished and the rest not as far along as I hoped but a couple weeks of painting in the evenings will fix that.
