Autumn Exhibits

Though it doesn't look like it, I am preparing for two exhibits this fall...well, one is a market and the other a group exhibit in Ontario.  I have been working, but sometimes need a break, and what do I do for a break?  Paint, of course! 

Previously I exhibited at the annual Calyx market which was amazing but falls on the same weekend as my Jr Artist Program at the library so this year I was excited to be invited to take part in Handmade Here which takes place in Calgary November 23+24 and also an exhibit at AyrSpace Gallery in Ontario.  Very excited for both.

The adirondack chair I painted last year began with warm colours (red, yellow, orange) so I thought I'd begin this one with cools...all variations of blue - royal, turquoise and a tealy-green/blue.  And seeing this photo I realized that I even colour-coordinated with the chair, both in clothing and jewellery...very interesting.  I'm certain there is a psychological explanation for this, but I tend to believe it's just because I love blue...every single variation of it.  Oh...and every other colour, too.
