My paintings at Swoon

The farm show at Swoon will be up for another week. There is always more than just the feature shows going on at Swoon and Brandt can set up a great display of art any where in the house. The bathroom is a little gallery and is hung with some of my work. It is just off the main room where the farm show is hung. Drop in before the 28th if you can.

The Farm show at Swoon

Swoon Fine Art and Antiques is having another juried show in July. I was delighted to have 2 of my submissions chosen. The show opens on Saturday July 6.

Tupperville Farm (13.5 x 21.5 inches)

Winter cattle (10 x 20 inches)

At the Book Launch

The book launch was a great party - lots of good food, good conversation, a reading by Kate Rose of her animal rhymes, and a good time was had by all. Thanks to all who attended and helped to make this such a fun event. A special thanks to my angels; Deb, Janel and Lorraine who did food and flowers.
Congratulations to Susan Friend who won the "Great Email list door prize"

Animal ABCs

 It is here at last! 

 This project has been some time in the making but I finally have copies of my ABC book. It is hard cover, 8.5 x 11 inches, and full colour.

I am particularly pleased to announce that I am partnering with the IWK Health Centre Foundation. (The IWK Health Centre provides quality care to women, children, youth and families in the Maritime provinces and beyond.) A portion of all sales of the book will be donated to the Foundation.
