Countdown To Open Studio – Six Days Out

As I mentioned in yesterday’s Blog Post, our Artists’ Workshop group will be holding an Open Studio Show and Sale next Monday, November 26 in the auditorium of Grace Westminster Church at  505 – 10^thStreet East here in Saskatoon.

You’ll be able to enjoy art and conversations about art with all 13 of us that day.

As this week unfolds, I promised to tempt you with a few pieces of art in the lead up to the show.

Here are two of my images with a floral theme – each of them 12 x 16 inches in size.

The first image, Meewasin Leaves, is an autumn bouquet that was inspired by the colorful leaves and branches that I gathered on a September walk along the Meewasin Trail.

It is one of the first images where I experimented with this technique for creating a mottled ground.

The second image, Au Nom De La Rose, was inspired by a flower shop of this name in the Latin Quarter in Paris.

The displays outside this shop are always interesting – with their unique stands, brilliant colors, and petals that drift across the sidewalk in the breeze.

Watch for more blog posts with samples of pieces from the show. And let me know if something ‘twigs’ your interest.
