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.

   

Light in the Forest - 48"x48" mixed media 

                                                  Hope you'll visit the exhibitions!
                                                                     

Spring Flowers

The rain has stopped in Vancouver and the tulips are gorgeous.
The spring flowers inspired me to finish the water-colour I started in California.
My friend Jill showed me how she painted her beautiful flowers, and we had a fun afternoon.
I finished up my flowers today, but I'm not sure if I like the black ink outlines.
Do you think the flowers would be better without the outlines?

Happy Spring!
