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.

Started new painting today

Went to Tweed today to paint with a group of like-minded artist friends. We are using the front room of a chiropracter's office, until he rents it out to better paying folk. It is useful to exchange ideas and tips on each other's work. Here is the painting I finished last time.
I am now working an acrylic painting of a marmalade cat lying on some knitting wool. They love to do that. I will show you this one when its furthur along.
