It must be Autumn!

      So cold out, going to bring some of my paintings in to display in town, but had to put on fleece lined cargo pants just to get out of bed this morning! I will probably be
roasting by this afternoon! Look for me this Saturday
at the Culture Days doing a painting demo. I will be wandering around the park with my easel in tow, unless find a spot in the park. I left it a bit late to apply as I never know what the weather is going to be like outdoors. I will keep you posted if I get a spot in the park.
     

Mono's Big Day Out!

Mono's Big Day Out

     This was one of the most organized shows I have ever attended. the people were amazing and the display looked great. I had just finished several of my badlands paintings and I am looking forward to doing more. It is 40 above right now, but the weather is temporary. Must take advantage of it while it is here.

  
  I painted a couple of small paintings yesterday, 8x8 on gallery canvas. It is fun to do this every once in a while as it helps to limit me with the amount of detail as I can not fit it in. Back to a larger canvas today.
      We have an Art Show at Mono Centre this Saturday for Mono's Big Day Out. It should be quite neat as the gallery portion of it is indoors thank goodness. I can not believe the change in temperature this week. What happened to summer? Looking forward to some great fall shows and colours in the area.

The fish were jumpin!

Had a lovely week painting and getting out into the great outdoors at the same time. Went with my good buddy Kelli to a nice little river up north. We spent Wednesday painting followed by a great dance practice in the evening, and Thursday we returned there to finish up. This time at the end of the day we went for some cool off time in the river. Actually swam with the fishys! Salmon were swimming up stream but they moved very quickly out of our way when we went in the water. Quite amazing!
