Travels

What a joy it was when the world opened up post-pandemic and we felt freer to travel around the world once again.

I made the most of it, and many of those travel sights and experiences showed up in my sketchbooks and in my studio works.  This is a sampling of my travel themed works you will find at our upcoming show.

All are presented in the traditional watercolor way with mats, glass and frames.

You can see them on view and on offer at our upcoming Artists’ Workshop Show and Sale happening at Grace Westminster Church (505 10th St E in Saskatoon) on Friday, April 21 (5-8), Saturday, April 22 (10-4) and Sunday, April 23 (12-4).

Bold Florals

Creating this collection of Bold Florals was a fun way to make it through the long winter months. The bright blossoms partnered with strong calligraphic line work on a white background really pop!

These watercolor beauties on paper (a collection of nine works) are mounted on gallery depth cradle board – varnished and waxed. There’s no need to protect them under glass.

They are ready to hang solo or in combination with each other.

I Did It & It Feels Great!

About two months ago, I promised myself that I was going to be completely ready for our Spring Artists’ Workshop Show a full ten days ahead of time. That would be today!

And as of last weekend, all the works of art are finished, framed or mounted, labeled, listed, priced, grouped to show, and packed in boxes ready to tote to the show along with the tools and equipment to set things up.

Trust me, this is an unusual situation. More than once I have found myself working on the last of the finishing touches in the final hours leading up to an event – fingers crossed that all would be ready and stressing myself out just a tad in the process.

Why so different this time? Mainly because I was motivated by a very strong ‘why’.

‘Viewpoints’ is the theme of this year’s show. We celebrate the many different paths that have led us to our work, the variations in what inspires each of us, and the individual ways that viewers and collectors experience what we create.
