What says spring more than the first spring flowers and fresh, colourful eggs! And I am feeling like I have come back to life after a long winter. Life's been hectic but I've made a bit of time for blogging. I can't resist sharing the excitement of spring!
I've been busy painting, studying, volunteering. In the studying front I'm re-connecting with my high tech side by enrolling in an online web design certificate program through BCIT - parttime. I'm enjoying it! I'm combining my artistic, design, and techy side!
Remember my last blog post? It ended it with this photo....

And now my studio looks like this....WOW what a difference it makes! I have nearly everything organized and I can ALMOST find everything now! Even the resident canine manager thinks the increase in floor space is a big plus!!
On the art front, I've been involved in helping organize a BIG art event. I'm an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists Central Okanagan Chapter (FCA-COC) and we are hosting a community art event in downtown Kelowna at the Rotary Centre of the Arts! The event is call OASIS 2014 and if you click on the image logo you'll find out more information. I'm very excited about it and I hope, if you live locally, that you'll come join us for the art show opening on the evening of May 9th and the full day event on Saturday, May 10th. Tickets are only $25 for the day event and the opening is free! Please come out!
The art show portion of OASIS 2014 actually runs in the Galeria area of the Rotary Centre for the month of May. This is a juried show for any active member of the FCA in the South, Central and North Okanagan Chapters! We were allowed to submit 3 pieces maximum and I was shocked and surprised to find out that all three of my paintings below were juried into the show! I'm pretty thrilled!
I'll be sending out a newsletter soon with some painting goodies and info on workshops that I will be holding as well as offering personal painting lessons for anyone interested! Stay tuned!
Enjoy the spring sunshine wherever you are! Happy EASTER to all too!
