November/December Exhibitions and stuff

MORNINGSIDE LIBRARY:  A selection of my artwork is on display for the months of November and December at Morningside Library.  To kick things off, I'm giving a free Drawing Night at the library from 6pm to 7pm on November 14th.  We'll be drawing a seasonal still life.  See you there!


CEDAR RIDGE CREATIVE CENTRE & GALLERY:  Qallupilluit will be on exhibit in the Cedar Ridge Gallery member's show from November 4th to 16th. 
Limited edition prints of my artwork will be on display in the Fine Art room at the Christmas at Cedar Ridge show and sale on November 12 from 12 noon to 5pm.  Come spend a Sunday afternoon in a charming old mansion and shop for original art and one-of-a-kind crafts, handmade jewellery and ceramics.  It's also a chance to meet local crafters, artisans and artists.  My daughter Emma will also be there with her wearable/ home décor crochet and weaving designs (by Lunacraft).   Tea and goodies will be served in the dining room.

Summer shows 2017

My artwork will be on display at two events in July:

Art Square Group Show:  selected pieces of my artwork are on exhibit from July 17 to 31.  Art Square, which is open daily from 9am to 11pm, is located across the street from the Art Gallery of Ontario.  I'll be dropping by the gallery once or twice during the show to demonstrate digital painting.  See you there!

The Guild Alive With Culture:  I'll have a tent full of my limited-edition prints at this free two-day outdoor arts and one-of-a-kind crafts show in the beautiful Guild Park.  This park backs onto the bluffs and offers stunning lake views.  Throughout the gardens and green spaces are statues, columns, relief sculpture and various bits of stone ornamentation rescued from torn-down Toronto buildings of yore.  There's live entertainment on the stage, and activities in the newly renovated Bickford Residence (formerly the Guild Inn).  For more information see:  Guild Alive With Culture 2017

Shake up your art!  Kandinsky compared abstract painting to visual poetry.  Use colour, line, texture and form to explore the medium, express yourself and convey meaning.  These four workshops will cover inspiration, composition, paint application alternatives, painting surface treatments, use of mediums and colour theory.  Students should bring their own brushes, paints (acrylics or oils) and painting surfaces, as well as palettes, water containers, etc. 

Flyer to follow soon...
