Yesterday was hanging day for the 6th annual Monday Painters show at the Dundas Museum and Archives. It is hard to believe that I have been painting outside with this group for more than six years. It has been loads of fun and I have learned a lot from this very talented group. There are 42 paintings by 22 of my artist friends and in my mind it is a show well worth seeing. I won't be at the opening because it is the same weekend as the Beyond the Valley Studio tour but it is a chance to see some fantastic artwork and chat with some of the artists. They will be the ones with the name tags and they are all very friendly and approachable.
I haven't posted in ages because home renovations took over my life. I am still not finished the reno but six weeks of camping and painting have me thinking more about my art than my home. I decided to move my blog from Blogger to my site so that it would be easier to post. It has been a long time since I've posted so it seemed the perfect time to move it here. My older posts, on my old blog, can still be viewed by clicking on "My Old Blog" in the Archives section to the right. I have a lot of paintings to work my way through and will post a blog about my trip in the near future.
