Saugeen Artist Co Op
6th Annual 'Show and Sell'
Hanover Sights and Sound Festival
July 27 - 29, 2012

Show was a great success!

Every year, we meet old friends and make
new acquiantances. The show had a great
variety of art (watercolours, oils, acrylics,
jewellery, pottery, metal work, etc...)

The extra work was well worth it and returned home with 3 less paintings!

Hope that you have
a chance to stop by
for a coffee and visit
the Saugeen Room!

Our local Waterfalls and
the Saugeen River provided
me inspiration to paint
scenes not far from home.

Take the time this summer
and travel the waterfall tour.
You will enjoy every minute!


Thank you Cava Coffee Cafe for the
opportunity for displaying my "Waterfall series"
and "Saugeen River series"

 


I would appreciate your
comments and feed back.

Bev

 Wednesday June 13,12 was a great day to walk around the Owen Sound Harbour! Found my banner next to the Tourist Center.

On Thursday, June 14th my exhibit ends at Southampton Art Gallery, but I am thrilled to report that 3 paintings sold during that time.

I like to thank my friend Tina Concetta Revie for taking a picture today at the Grand Opening of the Owen Sound Banners.  I was unable to attend because I was teaching a watercolour/batik workshop of the "Chantry Island Lighthouse" (off-site workshop through the Southampton Art School). The weekend weather was perfect to paint outside and everyone created beautifull paintings!

Bev demonstrates her new technique using watercolours and wax on both watercolour paper and rice paper!

2012 Owen Sound Banner Project

I am excited to hear that
my watercolour "Sun Bathing"
has been accepted for the
2012 Owen Sound Banner Project!


Congratulations to my Saugeen Artist Co Op
friends else well.....Tina Concetta Revie, Dan
Nolan, Kathie Wright, Janet Liesemer and
Sheila Jack!

This  new method has alot more challenges, than my usual watercolours

but the end result gives me complete satisfaction!

Rice paper certainly creates an unique painting each time!

INTRODUCTION of 2012 SERIES "Lighthouses near & far" in Watercolour & Batik

I have added another painting to my series in the Painting Gallery. The name of this new painting "Thames River Mouth Lighthouse at Lake St Clair". Last January, my brother and his wife took us to visit this lighthouse of our childhood. There was a log jam and debris preventing the Thames River to flow into Lake St Clair.  This lighthouse brought back childhood memories of weekend summer fishing at the dock with my family.
I am enjoying this new technique of mix media using watercolours, pen, wax on rice paper!

What's special about this series is that the paintings will combine my love of wax and watercolours.


This particular painting of the Kincardine Lighthouse was created using watercolours, wax, and
pen on rice paper.  
Painting on rice paper have been around for over 2,000 years, and were established in China, Japan and Korea.  This ancient method of painting requires considerable practice and patience.  As I was learning, I recorded step-by-step instructions, so that I may one day teach a workshop to other artists.  I am planning to paint a few more lighthouses to feel more confident in this technique.
I do love the final effect and transparency of the final painting!
 
Check out my Painting Gallery as I introduce more paintings in this series!

Miniature Artist trading Cards

Artist trading cards are miniature pieces of art that are traded around the world. Artist create, trade and collect art at "swap" events, either in person or online. It is a great way to meet other artists and share your work.  The only official rule is the size: 2.5"x 3.5".
How did the movement start?
In 1997, M. Vanci Stirnemann, a Swiss artist, created 1200 cards by hand as part of an exhibit.  On the last day, he invited others to create their own cards and trade with him during the closing reception.  After that, the movement took off as other artists organized major "swap" events!  Today, there are swaps in almost every major city around the world.

Would you like to trade with me?
 They are fun to do & trade with other artists!

Weekend Art Retreat at Dragonfly Ridge

 

Artists were invited back by Lin Souliere & Carl Bell for a weekend art retreat in Lion's Head, in celebration of their 5 years of Guest Cabins.
Even though, the weather did not co-operate, the torrential rains and 70km winds did not damper our paintings! Lin's art studio provided a great place to paint, share stories and enjoy more than one glass of wine.

Thanks Lin & Carl for your hospitality.... Bev, Janet & Nancy
