Felted Sculpture

Trying something new - yet again. I got some felting kits to try it out with my grandchildren. But it has been so much fun and is so relaxing that I have been doing more. Started out doing some ladybugs. Then moved on to a penguin - a word of advice - DO NOT LEAVE ANYWHERE WHERE A DOG MAY FIND IT .... my penguin put up a hard fight, but ultimately lost. This is my next felting attempt - a little barn owl.  

Canada's Gray Jay

This little painting that is framed to 8x9" will be going in to the Reflections of Nature Show's Canada 150 Display of Canada's Gray Jay from October 27 - 29 at Prairieland Park, Hall C in Saskatoon. Painted in acrylic.

"Dry Noon"

I thought that I had posted this painting when I had finished it a long time ago. But obviously not. This is an acrylic piece done on tea & coffee stained water colour paper. Once I was finished painting it I bravely burned the edges to give a more "aged" look. It is mounted in a shadow box that is 20x29". "Dry Noon" $400

Digital Art

I created some alcohol ink paintings to use to create some digital art pieces. I paint on tiles, then scan that and make changes in photoshop resulting in some very unique and vibrant art pieces. I will only ever produce one piece of each image, so each piece is an original work of digital art.

My first oil painting

I attended a workshop by Adeline Halvorson using water soluble oils. Was a challenge since I am so used to paint actually drying ...... but I did learn lots of great things. 

Art in the Barn

I will be busy this weekend with an art sale hosted by The Saskatchewan Wildlife Art Association.

Art in the Barn will be at the Arts Barn in the Glen at Crossmount, just south of Saskatoon on Hsy 219. 

The sale starts Friday from 6 - 9 pm and goes to Saturday from 10 am - 4 pm.

I have uploaded a sampling of what I will have there to:

Sports & Leisure Show

The Saskatchewan Wildlife Art Association (SWAA) has a booth at the Sports & Leisure Show. Meeting all kinds of great people there - trying to sell raffle tickets. There are lots of great volunteers, so I don't have to be there all the time; was there Friday evening; will be back Saturday evening and Sunday from 10 - 3. 

Came across this really great tip for hanging artwork - using a fork to find the nail to rest the wire on.

Up, Up and Away

Think that I am done this painting. Will set it up in the living room so that I can study it for a few days - I may have to tweak it ......
