Opening of the Gallery Show for Art in the City

Here I am at the MVS Gallery opening at St. Lawrence College, Brockville. This was the kick-off event for the Art in the City studio tour next weekend. Fellow fibre artist, Linda Potter (centre) and Brockville painter, Deborah Glew, were also enjoying the festivities. You can learn more about the studio tour here.

Dark circles under my eyes, but no glasses and I can actually see what is going on!

Crocuses: A Painting by Celia Kainz

Celia Kainz is a painter in Brockville, Ontario. I am lucky enough to own this wonderful painting by Celia which is now hanging in our sun room.

Celia is the organizer of our "Art in the City" artists' studio tour which is held in Brockville every Fathers' Day Weekend. I wrote about this tour in my post on June 16. (Watch for a new Blog about this event coming soon!).

Last night we were having a meeting about next year's Studio Tour and I saw this wonderful painting of crocuses by Celia. It would be perfect in our kitchen. Maybe someday....
