This was quite unexpected and I'm thrilled to be included in a magazine that I love! I started buying this magazine years ago when it first came out, never thinking I would one day be in it:)... Thank you, Laurent Benoist! 
This magazine does an excellent job promoting watercolour, the artists, galleries and everything connected to it. I included some links below, should you wish to subscribe or you can get a copy of the magazine at Atlantic News in Halifax.​

"Paintings  by my friends, Plein Air Group" at Gallery 97

11/20/2017

0 Comments

 
Hello everyone, 
As some of you may know, I've been organizing a casual Plein Air group for the last few summers which is open to anyone who wishes to paint outdoors in and around the HRM. Personally I feel it has been very successful as everyone has met someone new, learned a bit about the challenges of painting outdoors and discovered new places to paint/explore. Also, thanks to the generosity of those in the group, we have been invited to paint at special events and to paint in unique locations that we would never have known existed, unless we lived in that area.
This past summer I combined two of my favourite activities, hiking & painting, as well as an evening Plein Air on Citadel Hill. Right now our group is quite large, but on average we are a very comfortable number as people are on vacation or cannot attend for a variety of reasons. The group is open to the novice or experienced artist (everyone has to start somewhere:), working in any medium. We also welcome partners and friends to accompany us and explore the area as we paint. 
This month Rae Smith, an experienced pastel artist in the group, has invited us to the Gallery 97 and the show is entitled “Paintings by my friends, Plein Air Group”.
If you want to know more about us, meet some of the artists, view some inspiring work or find that unique gift for someone special, please join us this evening at 6pm. Hope to see you there!

(11 Glendale Ave. suite 4 in Lower Sackville, at radio station CIOE 97.5 FM). Nov 29th, 6pm

I’m honoured that my painting “Tumble” Blue Mountain Birch Cove received third prize in the IWS Canada (www.iwscanada.ca) online competition. What a wonderful way to celebrate Canada’s 150th Anniversary and Watercolour! A very big Thank You to all the organizers/judges and Congratulations to all the winners and 150 finalists!  
​“Tumble" was inspired by painting on location at Susie Lake in the Blue Mountain Wilderness Area, late October 2016. Here’s a link to their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/Bluemountaintrailsassociation/

Blue Mountain Birch Cove Wilderness Area ~ Plein Air

5/2/2017

Hello everyone,
Last fall a group of artists and myself were invited to visit and partake in a Plein Air Event which took place in Blue Mountain Birch Cove (BMBC), Wilderness Area. 
This event was initiated by the CARP Environment Committee and organized by James Boyer and Violet Rosengarten. 

I landed up painting at Flagpole Hill on the edge of Susie's Lake (this is the view above in the poster). There are numerous trails, so when I returned, I used the site below to upload the map to my phone:  http://www.halifaxtrails.ca/index_files/BlueMountainTrail.htm
If you've never visited, I think you'll be as delighted as I was to find out about this hidden gem in our own backyard! 


Hope to see you at the opening!
