Setting up Northey's Barn Boutique Art Show
Today I went over to JoAnne Connell Northey's farm to set up the art show in her barn as some members of the Buckhorn Artists" Group did last year.
The peg board panels were already set up for me in the same space that I had last year, which I had requested.
First I brought all my paintings into the barn and as I unwrapped them I set them around the walls to be able too see them and decide where I would put them on the panels.
I started with the middle panel and placed the largest painting at the top in the centre.
This was followed by putting up my name sign on the left panel and hanging the second largest painting.
On the right panel I put three quarter sheet paintings near the top and staggered them a little bit.
I went back to the centre panel and thought I would add another barn painting, this was followed by a couple of pen and ink drawings diagonally across from each other and the last piece was another watercolour.
Next I sorted out the remaining paintings.
I set a number of paintings that had yellow, orange or red in them by the left panel.
Since the right panel already had an animal at the top I added the photographs of the pig, the cat and the pencil drawing of the horse.
I finished this panel by adding a still life and abstract painting to the bottom on the left side.
On the last panel I ran the three rubber ducks down through the centre of the panel below the boat.
Lastly, I put two paintings on each side of the rubber ducks and I will set up the tables and the small paintings up in the morning.
If you have a chance please come out to the Northey's Barn Boutique Art Show held at 1981 13th Line, in Selwyn, Ontario this weekend. The show runs from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. each day.

Blue Skies 1 and Grey Skies 1 - Two Works in Progress
We started the day with a foggy morning which gradually cleared to give us a beautiful blue sky.
But that was not to last, by the afternoon it changed to a grey sky, which progressed into a thunderstorm.
I thought I would paint the changing skies so I started with the blue sky.
I wet the paper and dropped Antwerp blue into the top of the sky and lightened with water toward the bottom.
Blue Skies 1
I then set this one aside to dry.
For the second painting which was the grey sky before the rain started falling.
I wet the paper and using a mix of French ultramarine blue and burnt sienna I brushed in the cloudy sky leaving some areas of white showing.
I wanted to put a bird in the sky, but I put it in when the paper was too wet and it bled.
Grey Skies 1
I will post both of these paintings at a later date once I decide which scene at the farm I want to put in the foreground.

Calm Water 1 - A Work in Progress
Today I was painting with the Buckhorn Tuesday Painting Group, and one of our members Emil Varga did a demonstration on how created coniferous trees using a sponge.
First masking tape was put across the horizon line and then the sky was brushed in using layers of French ultramarine blue and cobalt blue.
Once the sky was dry the background trees were brushed in using various greens made from the blues with raw sienna and allowed to dry while the tops of the rocks were lightly drawn with a pencil.
Using a sponge and dark green watercolour paint made from various mixtures of French ultramarine blue, Antwerp blue and cobalt blue together with raw sienna, burnt sienna and new gamboge.
While the paint was still wet, cadmium red, cadmium yellow and a mix of both colours were splattered and dropped into some areas on the green trees.
Next the rocks were painted in using various mixtures of alizarin crimson, burnt sienna and a little cobalt blue.
Once the rocks were dry the masking tape was removed and the reflections of the rocks were drawn in and then painted.
I will post this painting at a later date as more work on it has been completed.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and enjoy the artwork. I hope you will return often.

Abandoned Farm - A Work in Progress
Today I am gallery sitting at A Place for the Arts, in Bancroft, Ontario.
After doing everything that needed to be completed to open the Gallery I thought I would work on this painting that I recently came across while going through an old box of paintings I found in the attic (see post on 10 October 2013).
I started by adding some trees into the background and worked my way forward by adding a few closer trees.
Next I began working on the farmhouse adding shadows around the windows, door and under the eaves.
I was just starting to do some work on the barn when a number of people came into the gallery and the rest of the day continued to be busy.
I will post this painting at a later day once more work on it has been completed.

ACEO - Sunset Lake 1
I came across this painting that I had started a number of years ago (see posts on 27 April 2015 and 16 March 2017) and wanted to complete it before I went out to meet with friends for a late lunch.
I mixed a dark grey of French ultramarine blue and burnt sienna and finished painting the pine trees on the island and added a couple of dead tree trunks between the live trees and added some grasses and growies at their base.
If you would like more information about ACEO please go to my post on 11 March 2010.
The ACEO shown here is an original watercolour painting using Artist quality Winsor & Newton paint on 140lb. Fabriano 100% cotton, acid free watercolour paper. It is priced at $20.00 and sold unframed.
