The Burnaby Artists Guild is getting ready for their Fall Show and Sale on October 25 - 27th, 2013.  If you happen to be in the area come by and check out some fantastic art!

Living Cafe

A new cafe has opened up in the busy Steveston Village area of Richmond, the Living Cafe, and I have just delivered a painting to them for exhibit in their new space.  This is a great spot that offers gluten and peanut free options alongside vegan and paleo options.  As they have just opened their doors the full menu is not yet available but it is growing and to have another business that supports local artists is fantastic.

If you are in the Steveston area go by and check them out:

New work - "Coastal Strawberries"

Back in November I wrote about a technique that I was trying out for keeping me focused while painting.  It is called the "Pomodoro technique" and I read about it on Robert Genn's website.  The painting that I had first tried out with this technique has been complete for a little while now, but I have only just gotten around to taking a photo and getting it up here....

It's a small little painting (only 8" x 8"), I've titled it "Coastal Strawberries" and will be exhibiting it April 12th - 14th at the Burnaby Artists Guild Spring Show.  Hope to see some of you there.

I am pleased to announce that I have had two of my pieces accepted into this show for February 8th, put on by Studio Blue .  "Middle Beach - the Stones and Seaweed Leave an Impression" and "Murder and Poppies" will be on exhibit and I hope some of you will be able to pull yourselves out of winter hibernation and come to the show.

The Burnaby Artists Guild Spring Show

As a member of the Burnaby Artists Guild I have the opportunity to participate in their spring and fall shows.  This year's spring show will be on April 13, 14 and 15th at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts in Burnaby, British Columbia.  The main preparations are complete, but everything will come together on the 13th as all the members who are exhibiting their work will arrive to put the show up.  We all volunteer to help out and run the show, a small portion of our sales go towards the costs of running the show and the guild.  The last few shows I have volunteered to help with the main set up and always enjoy getting to see the variety of art that everyone has created.  It is also interesting to see everything take shape as a bunch of individuals with strong right brains work to a common goal.
