Painting for the Spring Shows and Summer Galleries

Daylily

I have been busy painting, getting ready for the Spring club shows....Brush and Palette and Lambeth Art Association as well as getting work ready for The Boathouse Gallery in Port Stanley ( opening March 1st) and Sunset Arts Gallery in Grand Bend (opening May 5th ). This little watercolour will be at one of the shows or galleries. I haven't decided yet where it is going to go.

Award at Brush and Palette Show

Market Series # 1, watercolour and pen

I was delighted to be the recipient of an Honours Award at the Brush and Palette Club Show. The judge, Catherine Elliot Shaw, made the folowing remarks:

The combination of architectural details, urban vista and intriguing table groupings creates an engaging image of ordinary stories. The text provides an additional dimension and its ambiguity allows us the opportunity to complete the narrative ourselves. The colour and technique imbues the scene with a distincitve,  melancholy quality.
