"And So It Begins" will be on exhibition at the Alton Mill, Caledon, ON during the Headwaters Arts Festival.

This is my first entry at the festival and I am very pleased to have been accepted as entries were solicited from across the province. Studio tours and art exhibitions are a great way to enjoy the Fall Colours especially in October. Driving around the countryside, visiting small towns, galleries, and artists studios-- So Canadian in Ontario!

Advanced Contemporary Landscape

I've just returned from a week long Fleming College Halliburton School of the Arts workshop hosted by McMichael Canadian Collection in Kleinberg. Participants each painted a landscape on a 12"x16" canvas. These paintings become the Progressions VI Ontario Touring Exhibition with stops across Ontario. It is a wonderful week of camaraderie, art talk, chatty picnic lunching and instructive visits into the gallery. It will take a bit of reflection to summarize what I learned from this particular week but I do enjoy the exercise. Talking with the other artists, picking up ideas, reviewing approaches and professional attitudes- valuable time well spent.

Button Bush 12x12

My painting in the Progressions VI is a 12 x 16" Button Bush 2. Picture to come later but similar to above.

Coming up soon will be the Ontario Society of Artists Emerging Artists Exhibition 2016. Very exciting for me!
