Trying out a new style..........

Three little 10 X 10 kitchen paintings are now part of the Saugeen Artists art store now open in Hanover.  I wanted to try something quite different from the usual, and came up with a kitchen theme.  I painted using obvious brushstrokes, and paid careful attention to values, working from dark to light, adding brushstrokes that would give each object its shape.  I love that challenge!  I'm working on three more, on a green underpainting.

Photos of the Saugeen Artists Store in Hanover..............


.................to entice you inside!  I created a new window display yesterday.  New work is being added every day, with a big rehanging next week.  There are free artist demonstrations every Saturday afternoon, and a ballot box for tickets to win a gift basket on December 21. 

 Two floors of great art!


Here is the new window display........

with Teddy making up his Christmas list.

Besides paintings he can choose jewelry, knitted neck warmers,

....stained glass.......

.......and while he waits at the counter to pay, he can choose from lots of cards, and then put his name in the ballot box!

The Art Store is open!


Welcome to the Saugeen Artists Christmas Store!  It's finally ready, after weeks of planning and effort.  Here is a preview of what you will see when you come to visit.  We are on the main street of Hanover, beside Hanover Travel on the west end of town.  I'll be keeping you posted here......................


This shows some of the art you will see
when you come in the front door.


There is an upstairs gallery too,
full of wonderful art.



I have several paintings there, as well as many cards.
I have ideas for more paintings, which will arrive
as they are completed.
You will have to come around if you want to see the theme I've chosen for these small, affordable pieces!
