Full Marks

My graduation show for the 12 of us who completed our Fine Arts Certificate from the University is now showing until June 15th.  It is up in the back hallways of the U of A Faculty of Extension (the old Hudson's Bay Building downtown) near Room 2-640.  Check it out if you have some spare time.

I find that every year in spring, my painting output seriously slows down.  Work has been fairly busy, but I also have a ton of yard work and gardening to accomplish.  Most of my garden is now planted and the yard is almost complete so I hope to get more paintings started ASAP.  I need at least 25 good ones by August.  I will be taking part in 2, St. Albert Art Walks and the Art in Our Park Event in August and September.  I am also back to planning our community's Annual BBQ and Movie Night, which also occurs in September.  NO time to waste!!

Graduation...finally

I have finally completed my Fine Arts Diploma with the U of A.  I had actually completed most of the courses in 2011 but due to 'life happening' I did not do the final mentorship part.  This year I managed to wrap it all up and 12 of us will be part of the graduation exhibit at the U of A's Faculty of Extension.  Our paintings are buried deep in the halls on the second floor, you can view them over the next month.  

While I was helping to hang the exhibition today I stopped downstairs on the main floor to view some FABULOUS FIBRE ART.  The topic was primarily climate change and there were some awesome pieces of Fibre Art on view.  Check it out - main floor of the old Hudson Bay building downtown.
