2014 Owen Sound Banner Exhibition

 

Today, I visited the Owen Sound Harbour and found my banner. Since 2009 I have entered an image each year and very fortunate to have 4 past banners accepted! After a year of exhibition all my banners have a final resting place with my outdoor oil paintings in my back yard. Soon I will have my own private painting gallery outside for visitors!

2014 Owen Sound Banner

 

"Baby Racoons" has been selected as a 2014 Owen Sound Banner. I am quite excited because this project began in 2009 and my images has been selected 4 times each year. After the year of displaying at the Owen Sound harbour and arena, my banners find a permanent home in my back yard.
As years go by, my back yard will become my outdoor gallery!

Oct 8th: Our group spent the day painting within the grounds of the chateau.

Oct 9th: We travelled to Dinan, a village of cobbled streets and half -timbered buildings, typical of the French Northwest.

Because of rain, we sat under the protection of an outdoor café



Oct 10th: Our group stayed the day again at the Chateau painting and catching up with our individual laundry. ( So good to have laundry facilities at our chateau).

Oct 11th: Not far from the chateau is a small town of Constance. Because of the cooler temperature and rain, we spent a few hours inside the "Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Coutances"

Oct 12th to Oct 13th: Time to say Good-bye to our wonderful hosts Anna and Rob Beenham at the Chateau d'Hambye and we travelled to Honfleur, France. Honfleur was one of the favourite locations for the French artists to paint. The old streets and half-timbered houses appear in many of the Impressionists' work including Monet, Sisley, Boudin and Dufy. Artists were drawn to Honfleur by the special quality of light in the Seine estuary, the unspoiled medieval town and beauty of the surrounding countryside.

 

Oct 14th: After breakfast, we left Honfleur for Giverny for an afternoon visit to Monet's Garden, home and studio. Our tour guide gave us an interesting stroll throughout the gardens and gave us Monet's life story. Lin challenged us to do a quick sketch with a small block of watercolours to focus our attention. I chose to paint Monet's stairs to his studio. As I sketched, I reflected how he would go up and down with his art supplies to paint in his garden.

Oct 15th: Tuesday, after breakfast, our bus left Giverny and arrived in Paris for 3 days of discovery. Be sure to visit my file on my home page ARTIST EXCURSIONS for more photos!

THE ART MAP Open Art Studio Tour ~ Memories

Arend Nieuwland

 One of the purposes of this blog, is to record my Art Adventure throughout my years. I value the friendships and support of other artists that come into my life. I feel strongly that these friendships out-weigh the amount of paintings that I sell.
This past weekend during the ART MAP Open Studio tour was great because I was able to connect with these great artists!
I downloaded a few pictures of my guest artists work.
