My First Solo Show Ended Today

I went to St. Andrew's today to the gallery to pick up my artwork, it was been overall a great experience having a solo show. I sold 18 paintings and also received a couple of commissions. Thank you to everyone who follows, reads and/or comments on my blog, your support is a wonderful gift that I am lucky to have. Thanks for taking the time :)

Thank you to everyone who attended my show and to everyone who purchased my art, it is greatly appreciated. It makes it all worth while when someone is touch by my art enough to purchase it, enjoy!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Sneak Peak at my Show!

Here I am just after my husband and I set up the show, my hair is a mess and I am exhausted, it was quite a bit more work than i thought it would be. Thank goodness for husbands :)

It is hard to see some of these because of the reflections on the glass from the windows.

It looks much more impressive in real life, but I thought it might be nice to post these for all of my friends who are too far away to come to the show.

The show will officially open on May 21st 2010 and will hang until July 30th 2010. A reception will take place June 6th 2 -4 PM. at the Art Gallery at Kingsbrae Garden in St. Andrews NB. The garden is unbelievable, for any of you who do not live in our area and you get a chance to come this way it is a must see! click here for directions http://www.kingsbraegarden.com/

I am sad to say that one of my favourite little Pygmy goats Dusty is no longer with us :(

go to link below to see the portrait I painted of him for the show:

Watercolor Painting Goldfinch - Finished!

Just finished the Goldfinch, hopefully i will be able to start my Cardinal tonight, I have a few others to draw out also. I find I need at least 3 on the go to be productive (to much time spent waiting to dry). Hope everyone has a great night thanks for stopping by!

Frog Pond

Finally finished the frog I was working on. I needed a break from the daffodils. This was one of hundreds of pictures I took at Richard Flynn's pond last summer. What an awesome place it is in the Cambridge Narrows at his Gallery.
