When we moved to St. Thomas from Toronto last year, I got one of my first glimpses into the local art community when pal Darren drove me around to a few participating studios in the 2007 Elgin and St. Thomas Studio Tour. I knew immediately I wasn't setting up a hobby studio - I'd be working as usual, painting and showing.
And so, apart from a brief period of winter slumber during which I rested to rejuvenate and start new roots, I've continued doing-what-I-do; that magic of laying paint on canvas.
These are some of the pieces I've finished, or am hoping to, as the May 17-18 weekend deadline approaches.
(Soon I'll be hearing the familiar crack-of-the-whip as Neil gently encourages me to be as productive as possible in time for the show)
Furthering my exploration of gardens, flowers and earth, which started shortly after our touchdown from seventh floor condo to earthbound house, I'm enjoying the rich browns of soil and rock. Ah ... spring
