Workshop travel and Little Art Show

There are two upcoming events about which I am very excited.

The first is a workshop being held by artist extrordinaire Karin Jurick.This is going to be amazing. It is taking place in Hilton Head, South Carolina for five days. I am so looking forward to meeting other artists. There will be nineteen of us, and we will be working in the studio for half the day, and photographing subjects for the rest of it. We will be attending an art gallery soiree at one of Karin's representing galleries. And of course socializing, bike riding and maybe even some swimming! I am planning to add a few days and visit Savannah, Georgia, and some more artsy stuff in Charleston, S.C.


The Little Art Show is a fund raiser for the Artist's Network, a group that I belong to. They help artist's career development, have shows such as the Riverdale Artwalk and business seminars. This will be it's ninth annual silent auction, and I have donated a "little" painting. There are over 100 small art pieces starting at $80 and none over 8X10".

Sumac

Some of the most spectacular fall colours come from sumac trees. I see them in the fields where I walk dogs, and they at their peak right now. I tried to bring some sumac leaves to my studio, but they didn't last, so I photographed some trees to paint instead.

Maple Leaf 2010

This is the colourful season in southern Ontario. Various leaves make wonderful little still lifes. I see these as I walk dogs in fields, and I can't resist bringing them home. Imagine 6 dogs on leashes and a handful of delicate leaves!
