Fall is invigorating!



Fall has started, mother nature has started changing her palette from greens to yellows, ranges and browns and although the days are still beautiful the time for working barefoot in the studio in shorts has passed. I do love this time of year though, especially the early days of fall, when the leafs have just started to turn but the skies are still blue and the air is crisp and fresh. It’s invigorating!

This week is going to be filled with hard work and fun stuff. I’ve finished most of the preparations for the show and if things go according to plan the book should go into the final production phase soon, we’re still on schedule, albeit tight ;) This means that the focus of my activities has once again shifted to where most of my days are spent in the studio, a welcome change! I have some pieces that need varnishing and I’ve finally been able to start on some of those new experiments I’ve been talking about, I’m loving the outcome so far! :)

Tomorrow one of my pieces will once again be available for sale on Artbomb. This daily art auction, now also available in New York, brightens your day with new artwork and offers some great purchasing opportunities. They feature a couple of different artists each day of the week, even Sunday! 

The last weekend of September also brings us the Cultural Days (Journeés de la Culture), September 27, 28 and 29. Viva Vida Art Gallery will have a special exhibit for the occasion, with a festive vernissage this Friday (September 27) from 7-9 pm. On Saturday and Sunday the gallery will be filled with fun events and hands on demo’s. I’ll be there on Saturday doing some hands on direct transfers, so if you’d like to get your hands dirty please come by to give it a try! It’s a great opportunity to see artists at work and to try your hand at different creative techniques next to direct transfer there  will be things like, jewellery making, water colors, acrylic painting and sculpture. There will be a host of creative activities throughout Pointe Claire village on both Saturday and Sunday so mark you calendars for a weekend of art and creativity!
