I
have never understood how people can say they are bored or have nothing
to do. Here it is the middle of May already and we are approaching the
long weekend. Seems like not to long ago it was snowing .... oh wait
Mother Nature had a bad day on Sunday and sent us all kinds of weather
including snow, never mind.
Anyhow time for me just whizzes by. It has been an interesting few weeks.
The show with the Lemonville Group of Artists was the first weekend.... big success and we had an opening evening that was packed. We had record crowds all weekend long so thanks to everyone who came out to see our work.

Then
on May 9th I was part of a team of three Stouffville Studio Tour
Artists who created a collaborative painting in 30 minutes. I was
nervous, not about painting in
front of people but painting one work with 2 other artists. I think our
painting turned out very well and I have a lot of fun!
In between painting we videoed our work ... Have a look..... Another time we might have a dedicated person taking the video.
The challenge was to create a painting representing York Region landscapes. We chose to depict a kettle lake in the bottom of the page with houses surrounding the lake and farmland behind. Collaged into the houses was an area map from the 19th century with all of the names of the farms from that era.

Thanks to the York Region Arts Council for inviting us to participate
in this event and to the other artists, especially our team for a great
evening.
