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.

New Blues, Iceberg

I was at David and Olga Guthrie's to pick up work they framed for me to exhibit at The Brush and Palette Club's Annual Show and Sale when some fabulous watercolour tubes of various blues called my name. Today I have had fun playing with blue and eventually revisited icebergs to use what I had discovered while playing.. The result is the painting above, Iceberg Revisited.

Since I will be unable to attend the Opening tomorrow evening, I will travel up to see the show on Saturday. If you are able, please try to attend the Opening or stop by some time this month. I am sure you won't be dissappointed!

Market Series #1

 I have been busy painting, working on a series inspired by a sketching trip to the downtown market. The first one was done after attending a workshop about different approaches to consider when using photographs as inspiration. The second was completed using a small portion of the first as inspiration.
