I support Planned Parenthood. Their information, birth control and testing helps women and families everywhere, especially low income families.

Collagey bits

 

Shadows   8x10

 

I like how collage allows you to bring together things just seem to go together. You don't have to have any advanced drawing or painting skills to attend and enjoy a collage class. Just grab what speaks to you and start gluing.

We have the technology....

I made several collages for the "Papier Colle Femmes" project a few years ago. I was very fond of a few of the collages and have missed them ever since. I decided to create similar ones for my own benefit.

This one depicts Artemis, goddess of wild animals.

A recent painting. Now all I want to do is paint, paint, paint.

Prickly topic

Just taking care of business, finally....

From the Workshop

I thought I would post a couple of paintings from the workshop. 

These were fairly quick studies but I am liking the brushwork.

Red Deer Summer Series

Fresh back from a week at Red Deer Summer Series, a week long painting class with Justin Ogilvie (a very fine teacher). Big thanks go out to the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance for their grant that enabled me to attend this outstanding level of instruction.

If you haven't been and you are anywhere near, Red Deer college offers several weeks of instruction through out the summer. You can stay at the residences on the campus (very reasonable). It's art camp for adults. Check this year's offerings out at:  http://rdc.ab.ca/continuing-education/summer-rdc/series-summer-arts-school
