Tomorrow I am off to Madoc to show my paintings and fibre art at the Madoc Art and Music Festival. It seems like a very ambitious project for the organisers as it is on for 4 days -Thurs July 3rd till Sunday July 6th.
It will be held at the Fair Grounds on Highway 62 just north of Madoc. Come and check it out. I will be in the Old School House.
World famous sculptor, Paul Sheir will be exhibiting, as well as David Crighton, a well known Toronto artist.
I will let you know if it was a success or not at a later date.

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.

One of my latest watercolours
I am not quite sure why this is, but the photo does not do justice to the original in this case. Perhaps it is because the original was small -about 8ins x 10ins. Any ideas or tips about photographing artwork?
