My Upcoming Summer Art Show

There's nothing like a deadline to spur some creativity!  I was so honoured to be invited to be part of a show at the L. E. Shore Library in Thornbury for the months of July and August this year.  I've been working hard to produce a suitable body of work since March, and this week it travels to Thornbury for the show hanging.  There are four other artists involved, with a variety of work from abstracts to 3D.  Click on the photo to the right to see who is also in the show.  It will be up for all of July and August, with an official reception on July 7, from 2:00 to 4:00.  I'll be there, and hopefully will see some of you there too.  Here are some samples of my work that will be on the walls of this lovely gallery, which is part of the library.  The most interesting aspect of this venue is that it is beside the school where I taught for 13 years before I retired.  I walked over to storytime at the library on Friday afternoons with several classes of young students over the years.  It's a privilege to be showing my paintings there!

If you live near Owen Sound...........

...............you will likely be familiar with the Owen Sound Artists' Co-op.  For the month of June, my art group (now called the Saugeen Artists' Guild) has a show of our members' work in the Legacy Room there.  If you click on the photo on the right, you will see information about that show, and my own painting is on that page!  Their home page can be found here.  The Co-op is full of all kinds of beautiful art pieces, not just paintings.   In particular I have enjoyed the extensive and unique displays of pottery.  One of my favourite things to shop for!
