2 Art Shows This Saturday

You are invited to both art shows this Saturday. Free parking, entry and door prize ballot for original art.
The Federation of Canadian Artists show (left invite) is a juried show and all 4 of my paintings were juried in. I will be helping with the setting up of this show but will not be in attendance. There will be a lot of artists there to help or answer any questions. The paintings for this show were juried (images on line) through Vancouver FCA.

The Calgary Sketch Club (invite on the right) is not a juried show. I will have 10 paintings in this show and art cards for sale. As I try to alternate shows, I will be in attendance at this show all day.

You will be amazed at the variety of beautiful original art work at both shows. If you are in Calgary, know you are invited and welcome to go to either or both shows.

Tulip Festival - Calgary Sketch Club Painting Exchange

"Tulip Festival"

9" x 12"  Oil on canvas 

#20007517

This painting was my celebration of spring. It always makes me happy to see tulips begin to open and show their brilliant colours. I took this painting to our Calgary Sketch Club awards and wind up party last Thursday. I sat beside Tami and we both commiserated on bringing a painting that we did not care for to our first wind up club party. At our party who ever wants to participate brings a painting and then a draw is done where the # you pull out corresponds to the painting you get. The choices were beautiful. Tami and I were sitting beside each other. I drew my number and it was Tami's beautiful painting then Tami drew a number and it was my painting, we had a good laugh over that.

This is my beautiful painting by Tami Hort
Resin on Oil  20" x 10"

Calgary Sketch Club October 2016 Juried Show

I had so much fun at this show last weekend, even had some surprise visitors. These 3 paintings were juried into the show and the large one on the right sold as a Christmas present. It was so nice to meet the Mom and Daughter and know it was going to a wonderful home as a gift from a loving Mom.
