Tweed flowerama


Today was Canada Day, so I donned by red and white outfit and headed for the park in Tweed with my paintings and my tent.
It was a lovely sunny day, and it is always pleasant sitting in the park, looking at the lake and the fountain. Best of all I sold a large framed painting of Chisholm's Mill, (see above)
The buyers were very pleased as they lived just round the corner from the view I had painted. BY the way, this is often how you sell paintings - paint something that people can relate to, or has some personal meaning or revives memories for them.
The "Flowerama" is put on to celebrate Canada Day by the Tweed and area horticultural society. There is also a flower show, as well as arts, crafts and plants for sale.
