OSWOA - Flowing Colours 2

The temperatures continue to be in the 80F+ (27C+) range with still no rain in sight. It is hard to get motivated to work on a larger painting, so today I felt like playing with colour and not doing anything too serious.

I wet the paper and brushed in the primaries using cobalt blue, alizarin crimson and new gamboge. I allowed the paint to mix together on the paper and let it dry. Then I went in and painted in a few dots of colour to create some interest.

The OSWOA shown here is an original watercolour painting using Artist quality Windsor & Newton paint on 140lb. Arches 100% rag, acid free watercolour paper. It is priced at $30.00 and sold unframed.

ACEO - Cottage 1

Since we just had our first long holiday weekend of the summer season and many people have been up to open their cottages, I thought it would be fitting to have a painting of one of the cottages on Chemong Lake.

Final Day of the Among Friends Art Show and Sale

Today is the final day of the Art Show at St. Matthew's Church in Buckhorn. I arrived in the afternoon on a very hot and humid day.

I worked on Leaf Cascade (see post on 28 December 2010) today  and added a little more colour and detail to the leaves. I will post this painting at a later date once I have more of it completed.

The crowds were smaller today than they had been on the previous two days, but eight paintings were sold from Heather Grant, Penny Little, Lorraine Ryan, and Bonnie Windover; as well as smaller items from Diane Collins, Jo-Anne Connell Northey, Irene Smith and Bonnie Windover.

I am looking forward to our 22nd Annual Shades of Summer Art Show and Sale to be held 11-19 August 2012. I hope to you will be able to come out and enjoy the art.

24th Annual Among Friends Art Show and Sale

Today was the opening of our show and it was a hot, sunny day and turned very humid in the afternoon.

With is being the first long holiday weekend of the season, most people were busy buying plants at the plant sale as well as many of the delicious home baked goods to take back to the cottage. Because of this we didn't have a large turnout but it was an enjoyable day.















Today I worked on some pen and ink sketches including this one: Horse Sketches V is an original, matted and shrink wrapped pen and ink drawing and is available for $95.00.

I will probably work on more of these again on Monday and will post them when they are completed.

Simon, one of the photographers from the Lakefield Herald came in to cover our show and took photographs of the art exhibited and some of the members of the Group.
