Bordeaux Oil 16 x 16 $650
This is one of the new paintings that I will be presenting at the TD Art Gallery Paint-In (formerly known as the Moss St Paint-In) on Saturday July 20th, 11am - 4:30pm. I'm looking forward to being part of the Paint-In again this year and I will be located at 446 Moss St. at Thurlow St, across the street from the Moss St Market. You can shop for art and fresh farm veggies all in one go! How great is that?
For those of you unfamiliar with the Paint-In, it's a exciting day presenting all forms of visual art. Come on out with your family and friends and enjoy the fun! All of Moss Street from Fort St to Dallas Rd is closed to cars. The street will be lined on both sides with 150 artists who are bringing their studios to the street that day. Each year about 35,000 art enthusiasts come out to enjoy the event. This year my demonstration will be painting a still life from life. If you're at the event come by and say hi. I'd love to see you!

Here I am at last year's Paint-In. It was a beautiful sunny day and we're all doing a sun dance to enjoy similar weather this year!
Oh, that sounds like a perfect day! And your painting is wonderful! I love those rich colors and the beautiful elegant flow throughout the piece. Wow, Claire! It's an exciting painting, and an exciting day to introduce it to the public!
ReplyDeleteKathrine thank you so much for your lovely comment. I so appreciate your consistent comments on my work. Cheers Claire
DeleteIt sounds like its going to be a wonderful day, Claire! This painting is beautiful...love the vibrant colors...and the realism of the piece!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Hilda! Yes, I'm really looking forward to the Paint In. I'm also a bit nervous, it's a lot of people to demo in front of!
DeleteBeautiful painting, Claire . . . so rich and saturated with color and depth. Really enjoyed catching up with your blog and activities, exploring Tanya Bone. And, to answer your question from another previous wonderful painting/post: it's always a struggle to achieve a balance between what I see and and my own "interpretation" of what I see. The literal aspect seems to take over and dominate when my intention is to be more "painterly" and take some risks. Thanks so much for your really nice email!
ReplyDeleteHi Lorraine! So great to connect again! Thanks for your comment, and yes, it is always a struggle. My work tends to be tight so I'm trying to loosen up and I always admire your painterly brushstrokes and colour application.
