A Sneak Peek At Our 2026 Artists’ Workshop Show & Sale

On the last weekend in April, our Artists’ Workshop group will throw open the doors and share an enthusiastic welcome to our Annual Spring Show & Sale.

I thought I’d share a sneak peek at what you will find in my collection of paintings this year, as well as the general details for the show.

Friendly Faces

As many of you know, last year was a tough one with my husband’s advancing illness through the fall and passing in late October.

Gathering small bouquets from the garden and bringing them to our Monday painting sessions was about all I could manage.

You’ll find a collection of ten 6×8 posies that I created during that time – pretty florals with simple backgrounds.

Happy Houses Up The Hill

Since the new year, I’ve returned to the whimsical villages theme that I started exploring last year. They’re lighthearted, and I needed a little joy and levity in my life.

Most of the village scenes are sized 10″ x 20″ and mounted on cradle panel.

Peace Be With You Japanese Garden

Travel sketching was pretty much out of the question last year, given our family situation, but I did flip back through sketchbooks from previous years and harvested a few pieces that you will see presented in the show.

Some of my works are presented in the traditional way – matted, and framed under glass. Most are mounted on gallery cradle board with a varnish and wax finish – no glass required.

Introducing The ‘Sunny Summer Special’ Series

So far this spring, warm, calm, sunny days have been hard to come by here in Saskatchewan. But today delivered, so I spent a good chunk of the afternoon sketching flowers in the Pausegarden.

To celebrate the impending arrival of summer on June the 20th, I’m offering up the six sketches I created to give you an opportunity to welcome summer to your world, too. One painting will be released each day until the first day of summer.

The original watercolor sketches are 2.5 x 3.5” in size, slipped inside a cello pouch, and mounted in a stand-up paper frame card that takes the outer dimensions to 3.5” x 5”. They are available at a sunny summer special price of $40 each (taxes and postage included). Payment by e-transfer.

Starting tomorrow, June 15th, I’ll be posting one ‘pic of the day’ on Social media (Facebook & Instagram) around 9 am.

Each painting will go to the first person to claim it by sending an email request for the ‘pic of the day’ to pat@patkatzart.com.

Good luck and happy summer to you.

Let It Snow…Let It Snow…Let It Snow!

Well, it’s 12 days till Christmas and here in Saskatoon (and apparently in a few other places across the country), there is no snow to be found.

If you are yearning for a White Christmas, this offer might help you make that dream come true.

Here are four snowy winter scenes from the Blue Sky Series that I introduced in December of 2023. All the other siblings in the series found homes at that time.

Since the debut of the series, which was offered unframed, I have matted and mounted this quartette of beauties under glass in silver aluminum frames with hanging wires – completely ready to display on your wall.

The price for each 8” x 8” original watercolor with gouache – professionally mounted and framed – is $100 including taxes. Delivery in Saskatoon is provided free of charge. Shipping outside the city will be billed at cost.

If you are interested in adding these fresh snow scenes to your world – or gifting them to someone else – just send me a message and we will make that happen.

Let it snow…let it snow…let it snow!

BTW – it’s a challenge to photograph paintings under glass on an angle that avoids reflections. Do rest assured that all the frames are square as can be even though they may not look so in the images here.

Individual images are posted below along with their titles, so you know which one(s) to ask for.
