Happy!

I was thrilled, when I heard from the Federation of Canadian Artists, that my 48"x48" acrylic painting "Light in Forest" sold in the Active Members Exhibition this week. It's difficult to see all the texture in the photo. It was one of my favourites, and I'm learning to let my babies leave the nest. 

This was the second painting of mine they sold. 

In November, at the Ten Squared Exhibition, they sold my "Spring Flowers" encaustic painting.

It is such a good feeling to be validated as an artist, that people I don't know like what I painted.

Inducted as an Active Member into the Federation of Canadian Artists

Recently I joined the Federation of Canadian Artists, and this week I was inducted as an Active Member. I'm quite excited to be accepted as a member of such a prestigious organization. Already I have benefited from an excellent workshop by Nicoletta Baumeister (AFCA) on abstract painting.
There are numerous exhibitions and workshops for members. I will be participating in two upcoming exhibitions.

On November 10th, I have two pieces in Ten Squared, a fundraising event for the Federation. Sales go online and in person on November 10-22nd. This is a chance to own some wonderful original art by talented artists. Here are my two Encaustic pieces for sale:

Spring Flowers - Encaustic,watercolour and collage

Ocean Beach - Encaustic and shellac burn

On January 5th-17th, I will have this piece in the Active Members Show.
