Fall acrylic painting classes.........

Chesley Community Church will again host the next two paint classes that I lead.  Tuesday,  September 12 we'll be painting sunflowers.  I will try to bring some real ones as well as photo references.  It's always such a pleasure to paint these happy flowers!

Tuesday, October 17 we'll try autumn landscapes. 

Check out the Classes Page on my blog for more details and a list of supplies.

Another real estate home

I quite enjoyed getting back into some real estate painting for a local agent.  Here is the first one I've done for a long time.  I chose a natural wood frame that looked rustic, for this cute, homey cottage. 

These are painted with watercolour, over an ink drawing, on 8 X 10 Arches watercolour paper.  I frame them for a real estate agent to give to a seller, or sometimes even to a buyer.  I've done about 5 dozen of these in the past 10 years!

Last week, Friday August 11, I attended the Art Map Calendar Show and Sale reception.  What an honour!  Here is a coverage of the event. The photo below shows me on the far left, with two of my paintings peeking out behind me.   Thank you Barb Pearn for creating the Art Map calendar, and allowing me to contribute to it!

    Here is the painting I did that was chosen for the calendar:

It will soon be returned to the Southampton Arts Centre.
