October is here!

Well, here we are into October- but, except for the nights which are cooler, it is almost like summer. The show at Rocanini ends this Friday but I am part of another show in the Rotunda of Richmond Cultural Centre.  It is paintings from the 2013 Multifaith Calendar- plus one from various artists. My "Winter Sunset- Finn Slough" is the sidebar for December (I love painting skies!)  and "In the Woods"is my plus-one. It turned out that the artists were expected to hang their own but I'm not up to stepladders yet, with my hip - so I ended up just leaving the paintings and hoping they get hung! ...well- what can you do... I'll be over for the meeting on Wednesday and will see what has happened.

Heart of Steveston

Going up for the busy Salmon Festival Weekend at Steveston - but actually staying up through to October 12, is a show called "Heart of Steveston". It takes place, appropriately enough, in the heart of Steveston - corner of #1 and Moncton- in Rocanini Coffee shop. I am showing paintings - of Steveston, of course, along with three other artists - Jeanette Jarville, Karen Parker and Rita McArthur. 10% of any painting sale will go to Richmond Hospital Foundation. I'm including a few of areas not right in Steveston, but nearby, such as Britannia and Finn Slough. It is a great opportunity in a great location so I hope it all goes well. I won't be able to manage the opening reception as I am recovering from hip surgery but I will be in and out of there in the future. This one is "Winter Sunset, Finn Slough"
