Hello Dear Art Lover
BREAKING NEWS
How are you doing? Do you feel like you've been holding your breath for months? I can't be the only one who feels it's been a little surreal lately. Like waiting for the other shoe to drop. Trying to get on with business and still procrastinating.
The BREAKING NEWS I refer to has nothing to do with politics. My crystal ball is in the shop [again!]
I have sad, but not unexpected news about our annual Gifts For The Soul, holiday gift show. Just when we had found the perfect venue for it too. Instead of a live event, we will showcase our wares on social media. So please check us out on Facebook and Instagram in the near future. We will do a post with links to all our fabulous creators. I know that even with the Covid, they have all been super busy making all sorts of new items for your holiday gift giving list.
Have you ever thought of art journalling? You can use a new book or even a found one. Cover the writing or some of it with a wash of cheap paint, use markers, crayons, pencils or collage other paper on top. There are a heap of ideas online. It could be a place to just keep all the ephemera you might collect, pictures of interesting places, words that catch your eye. A place to vent or a place to explore ideas to share or not. I would love to hear your ideas on what your'e doing or thinking of doing.
This week's attachments are photos of where I began with a painting and the result. I have posted on IG some of the process videos. Some are time lapsed so you won't be watching paint dry [lol] This one is called 'The Wallflower'. It's 40x30 in, acrylic on canvas, gallery wrapped, ready to hang. Free delivery in the GTA. Contactless of course. Click on the image to see it larger in all it's glory!
Till next time,
YOUR HOME YOUR STYLE MY ART
Rock on,
Gail
