Birches

Since I had been painting in acrylic over the weekend at the Brian Smith workshop I decided that I would continue to paint in acrylic.

Last night I looked for some small acrylic frames that I had in stock. I found six small frames there were all 4-1/2" x 8” in size. I cut mat board to fit the frames and gessoed them on both sides sanding lightly between each layer of gesso.

They went with me to the Creative Art Guild in Lakefield. Birches is the first one I completed.

I would like to thank Mrs. Beryl Harris of Young’s Point, Ontario for adding this painting to her collection.

Congratulations to new collector Ms. Diane Barcley of Peterborough, Ontario on her purchase of Coral Dawn at the Guatemala Mission Fund Raising Auction held at St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Lakefield, Ontario on 09 April 2011.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and look at the artwork. I hope you will return often.
