Ajax Festival of the Arts

The Ajax Creative Arts show is now behind us and it's on to the next event. This Saturday is the 2nd Annual Ajax Festival of the Arts. It will consist of 3 locations: The Village Community Centre, the Arena and Cultural Expressions Gallery. I'll be setting up a gallery for our club in the arena which will be 50 feet long by 10 feet. There will be approx. 90 pieces of original art to browse through, plus 3 stands filled with unframed matted works and art cards from a number of our members. The arena will be filled with a number of artisans displaying original hand made works including jewelery, woodwork, painted rocks, fabric creations, etc. There will be music in the field with an outdoor stage and artists doing demos in the Comm. Centre. Check out the art at Cultural Expressions along with the specialty food.

Everything opens at 10am to 5pm - Pickering Village, Ajax, Ontario

Another Art Show Week-End .. YEAH !

The ACA Show is this week-end and I'm so looking forward to talking art trash with my friends during the show. Even though we are all working at the show it's such a fun time for us. Looking at all the work and hoping everyone sells at least one piece.

The weather is certainly co-operating as it will be sunny and beautiful all week-end. I'm going to do my whole display with sepia watercolours that I finished this spring, especially because they are all local scenes too.

Gardening Season...... Almost !!

The plants are all purchased even the vegie garden ones. Hanging pots ready to go up and sway in the breeze.....

Now all my friends (and the weatherman) are saying "Frost on Sunday Night" :(

So all the pots and flats of flowers are sitting on plastic in the library on the floor..... I keep popping in to take a peek at my "almost" garden.

I'll have to paint in the studio for the next few days to take my mind off gardening... at least until Monday....

Ajax Festival of the Arts

Just got back from a steering comm. mtg. for the Ajax Art Festival..... this promises to be a great 2nd Annual event. May 30 in Pickering Village.

Almost 40 artisans and artists set up in the arena, and outdoor stage with lots of entertainment, a Kid's Zone and the Community Centre filled with local artist and Cultural Expression Gallery serving up amazing art and carribean food.

One day only..... so get your event "Passport" on the day and win some awesome prizes.

Check out the Trilliams

Hubby and I went on a photo shoot this morning down to the lake...... then we went over behind the hospital where there was a whole wooded area filled with Trilliams. I think it's called Clement's Woodlot.

I took a lot of pictures so I hope I can get some painting ideas from some of them.

Grand Finale At The Dunbarton Show

Well, the Dunbarton show is over and I'd say it was a grand success. I sold lots of my miniatures and some art cards so I'm very pleased.
So..... now it's on to the next event which will be the Ajax Crative Arts show on May 22nd. This is always a great event because so many of us paint together all year and we finally get to see the works all dressed up in the Sunday best with frames and matts and price tags.
We hang out for three days and just have the most wonderful time talking about our work and differnet processess and new products.
