I will be pitching my tent at the Kingston Women's Art Festival this weekend- Sunday August 15th. This is a big event with over 2000 visitors. There is just one catch- you can only exhibit if you are female. Husbands can help put up the displays, but cannot man-pardon the pun-the booths. It is all for a good cause, as 20 percent of the sales goes to womens' charities, such as the local shelter for battered women.
The festival is held at the City Centre Park -Bagot and Barrie street. That's the one with the statue of John MacDonald.
Oh, and to keep the men amused there is always an antique and vintage car show on the other side of the park.
The music is good too! Hope the thunderstorms keep away.
The small sketch above is one I did on location at the O'Hara Mill north of Madoc, Ontario. It is watercolour with some pastel added.
