I entered this painting, Autumn’s Bounty in the Barrie Art Club’s December/January Show.  It was voted one of the favourites by visitors to the show and as a result, I have been invited to hang four to six paintings at Victoria Village, here in Barrie, for the month of April. I will post an update…

Last fall I attended a workshop with the Pelham Art Association in Fonthill, ON.  Ann More from Burlington was our instructor and she encouraged everyone to let loose with colour!  We began with a black canvas and then sketched our scenes with white chalk.  As we worked, Ann encouraged us to use colours we may…

A big thank you goes out to all those who attended my show at the Welland Art Wall.  I received much positive feed back and was fortunate enough to sell seven paintings as a result of the show.  It’s always sad to say goodbye to my paintings, but I am so happy that they will…

My father, Howard Daw, who will soon be 98, and his wife, Barbara, came to visit.  They enjoyed a good look around at the market and then stayed for lunch.  Dad said he thought it was “Lots of fun!”
