arts on the avenue

back in the spring i signed up to participate in 'arts on the avenue' in ladysmith.  by late july i decided to cancel my registration as i didn't really have any artwork available.  before i sent my email i called my sister for her voice of reason, and she assured me I could do this.  with her encouragement, i walked into my studio, closed the big sliding barn door behind me and started painting.  this is what i came up with.  these paintings and more are available for sale along with art cards, this sunday, august 25th in lovely downtown ladysmith.  grateful to my sister kim, and big shout out to my dear friend and fellow artist tt (trishaoldfield.com) for being so helpful on every level in preparing for this event.
