Where to see my work & what's happening now?

January is Take a Break Month!

 I'm sorry to inform you that I have decided not to teach any classes for the month of January due to the Covid situation.
 As I have been sick myself it is for the best. I seem to always spend more time in my studio during the winter. I love to be cozy inside painting and listening to music or podcasts when it's cold outside. If there is snow, please let there be snow, I am always inspired. I love the colours and the light that play on the snow. It amazes me how many colours can be seen when you really look at snow. There is a range of colours in the morning and a completely different range of colours in the late afternoon just as the sun is setting. If the sun is not shining the cold we can paint the gloomy clouds when the world looks back and white.
Take care everyone, be well and may we all have a great creative year!

2021 Review

I just realized that I did not update my blog once during the 2021 year. Even though the pandemic was still raging, I was able to take part in a couple of shows and even taught some private lessons.
I did a zoom lesson for the West Carleton Arts Society in March on [painting tulips with watercolour.
I was invited by the Herb Garden to display my work in their gallery during the summer months which really pleased me.
I participated in and created 3 online shows for the Ottawa Watercolour Society. I was at that time the webmaster for the society.
I had several paintings on display at the Carp Community Health Center with the West Carleton Arts Society Artists.
I took part in the West Carleton Spring Fling Online Show & Sale during the month of April.
In October I had a pop-up store in the St. Laurent Mall which was amazing and the first time I had displayed so many pieces of my work in one place. It was very successful. 
At the end of October I took part in the Red Trillium Studio Tour which also went very well. Its always so much fun meeting everyone.
In November I submitted 2 paintings to Zola's Restaurant through the West Carleton Arts Society and will stay there until January 30th 2022.
I also took part in "Art For All" a show the West Carleton Arts Society put on at Meyers Cadillac in thier wonderful show room.
In December, once again I took part in Christmas at Pine Ridge which is an annual Christmas sale at the pottery studio of Lis Allison. She allows a few artists to tag along and set up in her home for the weekend. 
Looking back it was an excellent year considering we were in our second year of the pandemic!
