Exciting News for Sooke

Popped into South Shore Gallery in Sooke yesterday and had a great chat with Jessie Taylor Dodd, the new owner. Great News! The place looks fantastic with some terrific pieces on exhibition. Hand made jewelery, paintings, sculpture, fabric work and more. Beautiful craftsman ship, all visually stunning. 15 of the Artists besides myself will be on display at the Sooke Fine Art Show at the end of July . If you're living in Sooke or headed out our way stop into South Shore Gallery. Afterwards head out to the Shirley Delicious Cafe for a great lunch & coffee, Phillip & Sheena are great hosts. Two more Positives Places in one trip, and well worth the drive.

I will soon be displaying my recent work at South Shore Gallery. Jesse is a wonderful artist as well. Originally, a painter she has been working on Fabric/Textile Arts during the past years. Her work is stunning and in 2012, her piece 'Friede, Freude, Eierkuchen' was chosen Best Fibre at the Sooke Fine Art Show. I look forward to exhibiting at South Shore Gallery.

Toronto Visit

I recently visited Toronto and got the chance to see where my first tryptich was installed. Bill Norgate, the owner of the piece is planning to change the wall colour and raise the paintings up a bit higher. This will lessen the blocking of the paintings by the equipment in his showroom. The wall colour change will bring some more warmth into the showroom space by picking up a colour from the tryptich. I really enjoyed meeting with Bill and having a chance to provide a little input in the hanging of this piece. Thanks again to my brother Norm for arranging the meeting and the tremendous hospitality shown by Norm, Helen, their daughter Linda, and Clive and my sister Linda. Cheers to all our friends new and old!

Sooke Fine Arts Show

Juan De Fuca Opus #2 Size 4'x16' Acrylic on Canvas I received a call today from the Sooke Fine Art Show and my piece has been accepted by the jury for the show. If you are in the area or live on Vancouver Island the Exhibition runs from July 24 to August 2. For more information visit http://www.sookefinearts.com/ticket-info.php

Size & Perspective

This will give you more of an idea of the size of the triptych. I shot this this morning at 7am prior to starting to work on the detail work that has to be done. As you can see it almost covers the entire end of our house. It has been a juggling act moving and working on each canvas because my work space is only 10'x10'.
