Art and glass exhibition in Tweed

On Saturday I was invited to an opening at the Tweed Heritage Centre of the "3 C's" artist. Suzanne Cavers was one of them. She paints interesting abstracts mainly in acrylics, but has recently ventured into watercolours. There were also beautiful, delicate watercolours by an artist (Joni) recently relocated in the area from Arizona. She said that she and her husband preferred Canada to the states and so had decided to move up here. I wonder why?

There was also work by glass artisan, Carol Cavers, from the Kingston area, who etched glass "drawings" on various glass objects.

I think the show is on till the end of the month, so go and check it out.

Animal painting workshop

I thought the cat needed to be brightened up a bit. Hope I didn't spoil it. What do you think?

It will run from 9.30 -3.30 p.m and will be suitable for beginner and intermediate level artists.

Costs $35 if you are a Belleville Art Association member or $50 if you are not.
