Waterfront gallery and gifts

Today I attended the Grand Opening of Belleville's new Waterfront Gallery and Unique gifts on the beutiful Bay of Quinte in the Belle Harbour complex and Marina 25 Dundas Street W. Belleville. It was a wine and cheese reception with MPP Leona Dumbrowsky making a speech and cutting the red ribbon. (Sorry, no photo).

There were lots of people and the crowd was enthusiastic. Of course, I will modestly say that I have four of my hand felted fibre art pieces in the gallery.

The main attraction was Iragi born internatinal artist Ishrak Sahar. She has some work in the Canadina Museum of Civilization. Acrylic abstracts and semi-abstract watercolours.Also on display were "creatures' made from car parts "Alien versus Predator". These "sculputre" are about six feet high
