I just received my catalogue for the World watercolour competition. I had entered into this competition but unfortunately was disqualified during the second round of cuts. While reading the catalogue and admiring the variety of artwork from around the globe, I came upon my painting, Out of the Blue (small and in the third section).
​This was quite unexpected and such a nice surprise….totally "Out of the Blue!"    
Wishing everyone a Happy & Safe Holiday!

Had a wonderful day painting at Paint Peggy's Cove this past Saturday with some very talented artists. I cannot thank the volunteers enough for all their hard work, as another artist said, "Well run and well done!” Some of these same artists and many others will be painting in Lunenburg this upcoming weekend, July 19th & 20th, http://www.lunenburgartgallery.com/PSOS.php and there's another "Paint the Town in Annapolis Royal" on August 16th & 17th, http://arcac-artsplace.weebly.com/paint-the-town.html  
So if you're looking for an enjoyable way to spend a summer day or the weekend, I highly recommend attending one or both of these events:)  Hope you're having a great summer and thank you for all your support!

Registration for Paint Peggy's Cove (July 13th & 14th, 2013), is between April 14th & June 17 this year...
I always thought this would be a fun event to either participate in or attend, and the deadline seems to come and go so quickly, I thought I'd post it:)

 "Winterscene" at Swoon Gallery opens this Saturday. This is such a nice eclectic gallery, (antiques, fine art, jewellery, textiles...) all displayed in an old two story Victorian farmhouse. I'm looking forward to the show as I know some of the artists & designers.  Hope to see you there:)
