Well theres been a few changes and stuff going on. Friends moving, changing Jobs. Our boss at work, has moved to Winnipeg. Her husband is in the forces and he got promoted, so off they went last week. Mini van loaded and trailer behind, Westward Ho they go!..... She will be missed, she was a good boss and I have great respect for her.
On the home front, Apartment mates are leaving and a fellow artist is moving in. So, that should be interesting. and given he is my age (old and crusty lol) a little more tranquil and condusive to painting.
On the art front things are going well this is the painting i just finished for the Bay of Quinte Restoration group. the theme was to have local photographers, provide pictures and than local artist interpret, in total there are 15 of each. The show is at Gallery art plus till Aug 4
Oil painted on 1/4 inch plywood. and 4 inches deep. the white openings, will have water colors. It is resting on a scaffold, I built, it is 6 ft long and 4 ft high.
Starting to work on two for the fall Jurried show. details to follow.
the stall at the market is going well. Not sold any yet, but had lots of interest.
I am generally happy with how its going. I have just returned from a 5 day canoe trip on bark lake. Took maria with me, we just base camped and did day trips. Lots of little paintings and schetces, we found a really nice spot where a creek flowed out of the woods into the lake, we were able to paddle a short way up, and be under the tree canopy. We schetced for 2 hours, and ate lunch. it was very cool and quite.
I hope to go back to the small lake i was on last year in aug as i have some more hollidays still.
To all who have commented thanks you. hope all are well.
bring peace to the world around you
