Yesterday, I went to the joint opening of the Gallery 121 in Belleville, and the Belleville Art Association gallery. This was a special occasion, as both galleries are participating in a joint project that will award Art Scholarships to high school art students whose work is judged to be thebest. Each gallery will display two of the students' pieces for about a month at a time for the next few months.
The Parrott foundation have generously sponsored this program.
I didn't have my camera with me, and in any case, I would have needed the student's permission to publish them on this blog, so you wil just have to go and see it for yourselves.
They are all terrific!
I have to say that my favourite so far was one that was displayed in the window of the Belleville Art Association gallery, 392, Front Street. It apparantly took many hours of work to paint. It is a womans head surrounded by interesting three-D effect pyramids. The colours were very subtle.

I have entered a couple of pictures-I say pictures as only one of them is a painting. If they are accepted, I will show them to you. If not, I won't! The picture on my left is not one of mine. I am not sure who the artist is. Let me know if it is yours.

Acrylic painting at Michael's Stores
Just in case you are thinking that the art classes at Michael's are a bit pricy, you may be able to use a store coupon towards the cost, so that instead og $45, it will come down to about $28 or $29 -a big difference. Also the price of the kit, which is about $59, can be reduced by 40% by using a coupon that is in the Michael's flyer. If you already have paints and the right colours for the class, you do not need to purchase a kit. The colours for the yellow lilly painting are: white ultramarine blue, cadmium red, cadmium yellow and lemon yellow.
