It's what November is all about here on the west coast--shorter days,  lots of rain, wind blown leaves, the occasional power outage, and lighting the fireplace for the first time this fall.
The studio is staying warm and dry however, and Miro and I are busy with Acrylic Classes, fun Drop-in Sessions, working on a commission, and getting ready for the Central Island Studio Tour--- happening Nov. 22 and 23, 10 -4 daily.
See the guide at Central Island Studio Tour.
The ARTWRX Square Foot Show is also on in-person during the Studio Tour Weekend and for On-line shop and sale  November 21- -27, 2025.  
See the great art at:  Online sale

A great group of keen beginning acrylic artists are getting the feel for this versatile medium. Some of their first works:

Autumn is in full swing here --- how did that happen, time is flying by....
Fall classes are starting up and the studio is busy as folks get back from their summer travels and shenanigans.
 I have been busy with submitting art by our Wet Paint Group.  Currently we have a small show at the TOSH  (Old School House Gallery) in Qualicum Beach-- www.theoldschoolhouse.org. Along with the DeCosmos Fine Art Society from Parksville and the Oceanside Chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists, it is well worth a visit!! It is on until October23, 2025.

​One of my drop-in artists has sent along her latest creations done with alcohol ink. Many are done on ceramic tile but some are on Yupo paper.
Here are a few photos

Here are some the current works by the drop-on artists-
The Autumn Beginning Watercolour class is humming along. Here are some of their beautiful  creations:

Summer is Here!!

Summer has arrived on the west coast- warm and dry (too dry!) but the gardens are going crazy.
​I love it...
​ News flash! We have a new studio kitten- meet Miro, a totally adorable male ragdoll cross.
​He is following in Theo's footsteps as he loves being in the studio around all the artsy people.

Drop-in sessions have been ongoing, with lots of great paintings in the works. If you're interested in joining these sessions, check out the SignUp Genius to sign up.

And just like that...it's Spring!

So Winter has come and gone-- so quickly. Although it is still cool here in the Northwest, Spring has quite definitely sprung--flowers, shrubs, birds, and pollen!
The studio was steadily creating over the last few months and drop-in is now picking up as Snowbirds arrive back. I didn't do a large trip away this year, just a short vacation with my daughter and family to Mexico in February.
​One sad event was the passing of my wonderful 'Studio Cat', Theo, last month. He was a beautiful ragamese (siamese/ragdoll cross) who charmed all the artists and visitors.
Picture
Several of my studio people submitted works into the Campbell River Member's Show at the Campbell River Art Gallery in January. It was a great showcase of local art.
Picture
The variety of art genres and styles (and talent)  in the drop-in groups continue to impress me... here are a few of their creations.
An Intermediate watercolour class was fun--- here are a few pics of their work.
Happy Easter!

End of Autumn

It is definitely the end of autumn here on the wet west coast- we've had much cooler temperatures, leafless deciduous tress and storms, even a 'Cyclone Bomb' with huge winds and torrential rain. So it is almost the Christmas season and hence the beginning of our winter.
 Although I haven't posted for ages, there is still a  hub of busyness and creativity here in the studio. A few of the students latest works are in the below gallery.
 Last week a couple of my students and I attended the Eastside Culture Crawl in Vancouver. Once again it was fabulous, hundreds of studios and amazing art in all media and genre. Well worth the thousands of steps walking around the east side area!

Spring is officially here! Tulips, rhodos and fruit trees are blooming (my mason bees are very busy) and the trees are a hundred shades of green. I love it!
The studio is also bursting with creativity. Here are a few of the artworks done during the drop in sessions:

Happy Belated New Year and soon to be Lunar New Year! Strange weather all round but now it is February and as the groundhogs have deemed we are well on the way to Spring! Only three weeks ago we had unseasonably cold weather and snow for a few days and now we have unseasonably warm weather! The hellebores, crocus and daffodils are bursting up and it feels like April---hope we don't get a nasty hard frost...
​​
Although it seems an age ago, we had a lovely little Christmas studio gathering-- yummy goodies and a bit of art fun!
The 42nd Member's Show at the Campbell River Art Gallery is now on. This is a joint exhibition put on by the CRAG and the Campbell River Arts Council and features local artists - from emerging to professional. Several of my studio artists have entered artwork, as have I. Try to visit , and vote your favourites for the People's Choice Awards. Below are a few pictures of the show.

The studio is however warm and welcoming. The drop-in sessions have been very full and fun. A new Beginning Watercolour Class has also begun; keen and excited students.

Encaustics and more

Warm weather, open doors and windows and the urge to experiment again had me pulling out all the encaustic gear (it IS very material heavy!) and inviting others to join me to explore the lovely medium of encaustic art.
On the July 29th weekend, seven artists played with hot wax, torches and heat guns, collage items, pastels, and all kinds of markmaking tools. Some very surprising and interesting artwork resulted! Here are few pics of the weekend:

    One of my favourite things... painting small watercolour postcards while on vacation. Here I am painting at the Alhambra, Granada, Spain in 2012.
