SLOW ART DAY – WINDOW ART SHOW – CITY PERKS & SPARROW COFFEE SHOPS – APRIL 2021
In non pandemic times, our Artists' Workshop group holds our annual spring show and sale at Grace Westminster Church. Since we haven't been able to do that this year or last, we have a new way to share our art with you. We would like to invite you to our Slow Art Day Window Art Show.
Beginning on Slow Art Day, April 10, until April 23, our work will be displayed in ‘window art shows’ at City Perks and Sparrow Coffee shops here in Saskatoon.
Some artworks will be displayed facing outward in the windows of the two coffee shops and more will be shown indoors, with ample space for viewing safely. Grab a coffee, have a seat outside, or do a slow walk by and discover the art of nine local artists.
City Perks Coffeehouse is located at 801 7th Avenue North and Sparrow Coffee is at #120-536 2nd Avenue North. They offer curbside pick-up, takeout, and patio seating.

‘CARE FOR A CUPPA?’ SOLO ART SHOW – CITY PERKS COFFEEHOUSE – AUTUMN 2021
'Care For A Cuppa?'
The Exhibition
As of Friday, October 1st, my second solo art show for 2021 is up and open for viewing. ‘Care For A Cuppa’ is appearing at City Perks Coffeehouse here in Saskatoon ( 801 7th Avenue N). The show consists of 22 works – all in watercolor on canvas. Here’s the backstory to the exhibit followed by all the details you need to know about the show.☙❦❧
“The prospect of a hot cuppa tea, coffee, or chocolate is one of life’s great comforts and delights. It’s a treat to be savored at home, in a local coffee shop, and at bistros halfway around the world.
A solo cuppa invites reflection and contemplation. A shared cuppa offers hospitality and community.
No matter the setting or the beverage, stopping for a cuppa lets us step away from our busy-ness.
And in that pause, we are gifted with the opportunity to sink into the moment and appreciate life while we enjoy the company of ourselves and others.
This exhibit captures those moments and the memories that accompany them.”
Here are a few more things to know about the show:
- All artworks are watercolor on canvas sealed and protected with varnish. Sizes range from 10″ x 10″ up to 20″ x 20″.
- Titles, sizes & pricing details are posted on the tags beside each painting.
- All works are available for purchase directly from the artist in one of these ways: Email: pat@patkatzart.com or Ph/Text: 306-221-8663
- The show will be up from October 1 through November 30.
And, wait….there’s more!!! If you are one of the first three people to purchase a piece from the show, I will personally treat you to a ‘cuppa’ of your choice (along with a sweet treat). Pandemic willing, we can meet at City Perks at a mutually agreeable time for a sip and chat about the show, art, and life in general.

PLEIN AIR GROUP SHOW AT HUE’S – AUGUST 2019
For the last few summers, I've been sharing Saturday morning adventures with the Saskatoon Plein Air group.
This month, Hues Art Supply (which acts as headquarters for the Plein Air group) is sponsoring a Plein Air members' show.
I have a couple of pieces in the show, as do two of my plein air painting colleagues from the Artists' Workshop.
The show is up the entire month of August, so do drop in and have a look as you make your way around town (maybe this week if you're visiting the Summer Exhibition as Hues, at 1818 Lorne Ave, is in the neighborhood).
If you'd like to chat with a few of the artists about our work, we'll be hosting a reception at Hues on Saturday, August 17th between 2 and 4 pm.
We love to talk about making art outdoors - that's almost as fun as painting itself!

‘LANTERNS OF THE WORLD’ Solo Show & Sale – Brainsport Gallery – July 2021
And it's up! I spent a couple of hours on Monday of this week - with the help of my able 'studio assistant'/husband, David - hanging my Lanterns Of The World show.
This collection is my contribution to shining a little light in this pandemic battered world of ours.
My first solo public exhibit is open now and can be enjoyed throughout the month of July at the Brainsport Gallery off Broadway in Saskatoon - 616 10th St E.
Take in the show and treat yourself to Beppi's Gelato - situated right next door. That's what we did after we hung the paintings earlier this week!
An informal 'Meet The Artist' is tentatively scheduled for the afternoon of Saturday, July 17th - pandemic willing and the creeks don't rise!
All works are available for purchase directly from the artist. Details are on the tags posted beside each painting.
I hope you are able to visit the show and enjoy the work.

SPLASH & SQUIGGLE INK & WATERCOLOR WORKSHOP – AUGUST 2018
I’m stepping out and delivering my first ‘open to the public’ art workshop this summer at Black Spruce Gallery in Northside Antiques on Highway #2, just south of Christopher and Emma Lake.
The one day workshop will run from 9 am to 3:30 pm on Friday, August 10th, 2018.
If you want to learn more about painting lively, light-hearted, colorful ink and watercolor sketches, this workshop is for you. I will be sharing a sampling of the techniques I use to create my whimsical, colorful vignettes of the world.
You’ll be treated to a series of ‘See & Try’ experiences – brief demos followed by hands on experiments. There will be no pressure to create a grand masterpiece – just an invitation to explore and enjoy.
You will learn more about
- Using continuous line contour drawings to loosen up and warm up
- Cultivating the art of noticing as a way to breathe more life into your images
- Creating dynamic lines and taking a creep ‘n’ crawl approach to composition
- Playing with an Elegant Writer to produce fun and easy images
- Mixing and applying watercolors in ways that keep them fresh and lively (using place ‘n’ pull and toss ‘n’ tease techniques)
- Combining watercolor splashes with ink lines – for contrast and emphasis

STUDENT SHOW AT HUES – JANUARY 2017
As an artist, I’m always learning. Sometimes it’s through trial and error in my sketchbook or studio. Other times I’m inspired by studying with other artists – via video or live classes.
Our local Hue’s Arts Supply is a great place to learn. Paul and the crew arrange for local artists to deliver a variety evening workshops; and I’ve been fortunate enough to take two of them.
For the month of January 2017, Hues is generously mounting a show consisting of pieces created by students in these workshops.
I’ve contributed three pieces to the upcoming show: two abstract paintings I created in an Expressive WC Mark Making class taught by Anne McElroy, and one landscape painting I created in a WC class taught by Alison Montgomery.
You can see the show at Hues (1818 Lorne Avenue South in Saskatoon) during business hours from Monday to Saturday throughout the month of January.
If you’d like to chat with some of the artists about our work and learning, come join us for the Exhibit Reception on Saturday, January 7th from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Hope to see you there!

MUDSLINGERS GARDEN GALLERY – AUGUST 2016
Ten years ago, we opened our garden on O’Brien to host a fine group of artisans known as the Mudslingers in presenting their very first Garden Gallery. The idea was to display fine art and crafts – mostly pottery - in a natural setting, with the greens of the garden providing the backdrop.
The event was a great success, and the group has continued this annual tradition of staging an outdoor show. I’ve taken part as a guest artist in the past and will be doing so again this year.
The 2016 Garden Gallery date is just around the corner. This year’s event will be held on Thursday, August 18th from Noon to 7 pm in the beautiful gardens at 2422 Clarence Avenue S here in Saskatoon.You’ll find pottery and glass works by Betty Gibbon, Paula Cooley, Ken Wilkinson, Diane Koshgarian, Lorraine Sutter and Roxanne Enns, as well as a selection of my watercolor paintings and abstract sculptures by another guest artist, Les Potter.
For a sneak peak at some of the paintings that will be in the show, please check the Pauseworks Studio Blog for 4 preview messages in the lead up to the show. The event takes place – rain or shine. We are of course, hoping for sunny weather – and we’re also hoping that you will drop by and join us for the show.

SKETCHES OF SASKATOON BOOK
In 2013, I published a collection of my sketches featuring the sites and scenes of Saskatoon.
The book was extremely well received. The first print run sold out in just 9 months; and SOS captured and held a spot on McNally Robinson’s Saskatoon Annual Top Ten Bestsellers List for three years running.
You can learn more about the book – how it came to be, what’s included in its pages, and how to get your copies - on the Sketches of Saskatoon dedicated website.
