Calyx 28th Semi-Annual Art Exhibition and Sale

 I would like to invite everyone to come to the Calyx 28th Semi-Annual Art Exhibition and Sale this weekend .  I am especially honoured to be a part of the show for the first time this year! I will have all kinds of new, unseen work in my Animal Farm series to show off. So please feel free to come by, see some art and say hi! I'll be there all day on Sunday and would love to see some familiar faces.

Hope to see you there!

I have been playing with a new series of paintings that are a complete departure from my Pretty Girls. And I should not be surprised how much I love painting animals - I am animal crazy! But I am surprised at how fun and loose it is.  Here are the first few from the series.  More details can be seen on my Etsy site as well.

I love love love painting my images.  There is a sense of meditation and peace that comes in the process. So perhaps it's not surprising on the heels of yesterdays post that I found myself in the midst of a painting.  Of course, it was in the guise of needing a new sample for my wall.  But I can (and will) procrastinate on that forever.  It was that I needed to get in touch with my artist.  And in the hours and hours that it takes to craft a painting, I relax and slowly zen-out. The movement of pen on tablet is relaxing.  I love the colours in this piece.  I find the interplay of pink and teal so lovely.
