Roberta Fisk

Well known area artist passed away recently at the grand old age of 93. Roberta was a founding member and teacher for the Roslin Art Group (RAG) in Ontario. She was a lovely, warm and lively person and a prolific painter. She also liked to draw with charcoal.

Many local people own her bright and cheerful landscapes of local scenery in Hastings County. She also liked to do still lifes and florals.

Just last year she had an exhibition at the Tweed Heritage Centre along with two other 90 somethings. One of the others, Winnifred Guttsell is also now no longer with us.



Roberta, we will miss you.

Plein air painting session

I am having a few people coming out to the farm to paint outside tomorrow, assuming the weather stays nice.There are lots of subjects apart from the barn. Flowers, trees, sheep, chickens,cats etc.
This is a black and white panting I did of some of our barns etc.   If anyone else want to come, please contact me.
