MUSINGS

Alberta has been fully embraced by winter. We survived two weeks of bitterly cold weather ( -30 Celsius) and are now in a "heat wave" of above freezing temperatures which everyone is relishing before the next cold front moves in. January has been a good month for me as I have been getting back into my painting by taking  some small steps. I am currently finishing off older works that have been sitting on my shelves unfinished and mocking me as I walk past them. I have also just attended a planning meeting for an upcoming local spring art show. Yippee!!! That means I need to start producing some new works. Exciting!

CURRENT EXHIBITIONS

"Deep Freeze" 

Again I have had several works accepted into the Deep Freeze Festival to be displayed at the Carrot Community Coffee House  (Edmonton) for the month of January. This annual event held on Alberta Avenue at a variety of locations celebrates winter!

"Mountian View", acrylic, 12 x 16

"ISOLATION"

This group show features artwork created or in response to  the Covid-19 pandemic. All artwork can be found at the Stanley Milner Library, Second floor in their reading room. It will run from January 15-March 26. Three of my works from the "Nesting" series are featured. 

"CREATIVE GENES"

This is a very innovative show idea. VASA members and their relatives can submit an art piece to exhibit. My niece and I have both submitted a work and our pieces were accepted. The show runs all of February at the Hemingway Centre, St. Albert.
