Shimmer, Acrylic 24"x24"

Summer must be on its way because I'll be at
Southern Accent Restaurant
June 15^th and 16^th for our annual Blue Moon Weekend brunch-art-music event.
 

Inspired by our recent trip to India (and the 2000 photos we took), you’ll notice a bit of Varanasi and Mumbai making an appearance in my recent work, and Neil and I will be supporting World Literacy Canada’s work in India by donating a percentage of my painting sales to their amazing programs.

And did I mention there’s a new pink wall in our house?

While I’m showing my work upstairs, Frances and Thes will open their restaurant for their amazing weekend brunch.  The menu will feature many familiar favourites, and don’t be surprised if there are a few new temptations.

Thes may even be spreading a little Hindi-Creole magic by incorporating some Indian spice into a dish or two.

And, if all of that wasn’t enough, Terry Wilkins, Tyler Yarema and Howard Moore will be on-hand Sunday with live music.  Fantastic.

So, bring a gaggle of your closest friends and join us on the patio for our once in a blue moon Art-Music-Brunch Extravaganza!

Don’t forget to make (on-line) reservations!

These paintings will be part of a silent auction to benefit World Literacy Canada during the February Kama event.
We were so fortunate to spend time at World Lit's office in Varanasi and see first hand the amazing work being done.

Robin Grindley Art Show 2012

Hosted by

June 16th and 17th

N'awlins Brunch each day and live music on Sunsay at 12 noon

Saachi on-line

My pal Josepha van den Anker has generated great interest in her work by posting it on the Saachi site. (this is a picture of her at the St. Thomas Elgin Art Centre with her self portrait series which was chosen to be part of group showing entitled Identity Transfer).

So, ever the flatterer, I've decided what's good for the JoJo is good for the Grindley!

And so, I (meaning Neil) have created a collection on the Saachi website. Mostly landscapes, crofts and pastures - we'll see.


This is a good way to get moving, creating work and finishing those pieices I keep fine-tuning (enough already!)

New works in preparation for summer show at Southern Accent

In spite of all the snow we've had dumped on us and the ferocity of our storms, this winter has been a very productive time for me (in between enjoying our first winter with a car, scraping, scraping, scraping ...)


I continue to experiment with different techniques and ways to manipulate the paint.

I even learned a new trick from a up and coming painter named Kieren.

In June I'll be showing at Southern Accent during Frances and Tess's Blue Moon Weekend of brunch, art and music. This is a fab, once a year event and a great excuse to linger on a patio over something cool.

My work will be on display Saturday, June 11th and Sunday June 12th and I'll have more information in a month or so.
