THE THINGS THAT WE MISS, Gallery @TheGuildPEI

(Memory of a girl, detail)

Please join me in celebrating my summer exhibition on Prince Edward Island!
The opening reception is July 6 with refreshments and wonderful people. And, because my birthday is the day before and birthdays mean presents, all guests who attend the opening reception will have the opportunity to win an original painting (we'll draw for it!) - so do please join us on the evening of the 6th to see the new work, enjoy good company and perhaps enrich your personal art collection!
During the exhibition I'll be painting in the Gallery. Check back for days when you may watch art being created.  

#TheThingsThatWeMiss runs July 5-25. The Guild is located 

at the corner of Richmond and Queen Streets

 in Historic Charlottetown and is open daily!

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW!

It's a holiday song that inspires and - I am a little embarrassed to say - it is only very recently that I "got" why snowscapes are so very beautiful.  Now I am a painting like a true "fan".  Here are two I am especially proud of and I think I'll keep them coming.  Why not, it's Canadian-cold outside and, as Georgie Reed Barton used to say, "paint what you see, not what you think".
