Art in the Park-Tweed

I'm getting ready for the next outdoor art show which will be held in the Memorial Park in Tweed, right next to Stoco Lake, Sat and Sun Aug 15th and 16th 10.00 am to 4pm.
I am only going to be there on Saturday as I will be a tthe Kingston Women's Art festival in the City Park , Kingston on Sunday -near the University and the statue of John A. McDonald. There is also musci at both events. It is free for the general public. We make donations to women's charities if we make sales.

More on how these shows went at a later date. Hope it doesnt rain! I am taking tarps anda tent to cover up the paintings just in case.

Paintings of Stockdale Mill

I thought I should do a couple of watercolours of Stockdale Mill, as I was there recently and took some photos. I didn't paint these en "Plein Air" this time, due to rain-and more rain-and the rainiest month since record keeping started in Ontario.

Stockdale Mill

I met one of the owners of the newly renovated Stockdale Mill, near Trenton and Frankford, Ontario, at an opening of a Quinte Arts Council Show. She invited me to bring some of my paintings for her to see with a view to putting them in her new art gallery and restaurant. So I took a few along yesterday and she agreed to take them on a commission basis, along with some cards.

I noticed that Peggy Holcroft also has some paintings on the wall there, including one of the old Mill. Apparently, old mill paintings are popular in this part of the world, which explains why I managed to sell one of Chisholm's Mill recently.

Anyway, check out the Stockdale Mill in a couple of weeks when it officially opens to the public. There will be a restaurant as well. The scenery is great for artists to paint, and the owner, Janet will be giving Yoga lessons and perhaps there will be art lessons as well.
