A New Show, and a New Series

 I am delighted to be included in a show at the Minto Arts Gallery in Harriston for the month of September, that The Saugeen Artists Guild has been putting on for a few years now, each September.  Hanging there are 5 new pieces from my easel that represent a fun series using mixed media.  You might be able to see what the elements are in each painting if you look closely.  I always start with a coloured acrylic underpainting, and then create my image by adding paper, fabric, ribbons, and even buttons and rocks!  I enjoyed a week long course by Cheryl O Art this past summer where we were immersed in all kinds of materials that can be included in a painting.  Each piece has two layers of acrylic finish on it to protect it.  Here are the 5 finished pieces for you to inspect:  


"Boutonnieres"
