Ahh... Finally it's Spring!

It is the Victoria Day long weekend here in Canada, and finally the sun has emerged and we have had some real warmth (such a LONG cold, miserable winter...). Loving it!
And it is time to go outside and paint 'en plein air". Today I painted while at the Ladysmith waterfront, nice...
​I am enjoying a 'free' weekend after a very busy few weeks (Central Island Studio Tour, Workshop at Brushworks and my usual classes, workshops and drop-ins )
​Here are a few pics of those happenings...Presenting / demos, samples and some participant's work....:

My beginning watercolour class has ended- and what such great art they did !
And now I am readying my art for the CR ArtsExpo this coming weekend- May 26-28th in Campbell River at the Community Centre.  After that I am  going to hunker down in my studio and paint , to boost my new work , especially in mixed media, oils  and encaustics (okay, I am totally excited to try out more techniques in this old exotic medium!)

Some pics of the Painting on Yupo session we had today--- it was such 'freeing fun', as one of the participants said- it feels like a kid playing....
