Fairy Tree #16 - New Directions

Well I have to say through the summer I have not done much artwork. The garden and work took up much of my time. The garden did okay and the animals taught me a lot. To find out about them go to my other blog www.allsortsacre.ca.

I did partake in an artists residence at Mountsberg Conservation Area this summer. I have done this in the past at Crawford Lake so being at a new place was interesting. I must confess that I do prefer Crawford Lake for inspiration. There was a show in October for the artists and I did sell a piece. Always a thrill! I must say a great thank you to Nancy Cuttle of FASM.

I also kind of participated in the FASM Studio tour. Due to surgery I could not be there so it was not all it could have been.

Now that the cool weather is here, the garden is to bed, and the daylight is retreating at 5pm I find there is much more time to pursue artwork. So I have added some new works to the gallery. To see how my current style is developing in  variety of medium is fascinating. Not only am I doing pen and ink with goldleaf, but also needle felting, acrylic, and a number of other things. It is amazing to see the worked in this way and to be free of the conventions of realism. How fun it is.
