Another painting I am really happy with! I love when I feel excited after the last brushstroke goes down and I love when I am left with more ideas churning. As I took photos of this it looked more and more like the hovering cloud was in the foreground and that the dark patch of land in the lower right was it's shadow. It wasn't planned, but it was a happy surprise!

So I have an announcement...

Since last November I have been on a committee planning an event for Saskatoon which we are calling "Art Trek: Studio Discovery Tour". Here is a bit from our press release:

Five artist groups are coming together on June 8th and 9th, 2012, to promote an urban art tour in the heart of Saskatoon!

The public is invited to visit the working spaces of the St. George Studio where paintings and sculpture are in various stages of completion. The 330 Design Group is a delightful grotto in the basement of a former church where artistic ventures are imagined and realized. The MIX Artists’ Collective is located in a charming little gallery just a stone’s throw from the river’s edge. Exciting works can be expected from the Artists’ Workshop who have a large dedicated following to their yearly spring exhibition. Finally, we can’t wait to see what The Men Who Paint do next! 

This is going to be THE weekend in Saskatoon for art lovers! Take the studio tour at your own pace to discover some of Saskatoon’s finest artists. Also check out the Waterfront Art and Craft Sale at River landing on Saturday, the 9th. We hope you can join us!

Date and Hours: Friday June 8, 5 p.m. – 10 p.m.
Saturday June 9, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

I am really getting excited because things are now falling in place- sponsors, printed material, the Facebook page- it's really happening!

Here is a link, please check out the albums of work from each group. More photos will be added in the upcoming weeks:
