New Classes

May 22 is the first class of a 4 week session of "Large and Loose" at the Arts Project. If you are interested in learning some ways to work more abstractly or in a non-objective manner, or just wanting to loosen up your style please visit the Arts Project on Dundas Street in London, On. or go to the web site--  artsproject.ca for more information. The class has only a few spots left!

"Night"

The Lambeth Annual Art Show and Sale last weekend was very successful (lots of visitors and sales were brisk). I sold 3 and the piece featured above, "Night", won an Honors award.  "Night" is from a series of work using poured acrylics, such a fun process and a great way to practice letting go and allowing the paint to discover its own way around the canvas.

The Marathon

Here is a preview of the work I am submitting this year to Artprize in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This piece which is one of 4 panels is 30X60 inches and the other panels will be 30X30(2) and another 30X60. The topic is a road race and other subjects that are part of a race. I was thinking about why people like to be in groups and for some reason running and marathons caught my interest. Oddly, I am do not run!
