Tomorrow I am going to Francesco's Coffee Company in Ottawa to hang a solo show for the month of August. This is my first solo art show for a long time and I managed to create a few new pieces of mixed media paintings on canvas for something new to exhibit along with a varied collection of drypoints, etchings, collagraphs, linocuts, collages and mixed media works on paper.
It has been a struggle to get this show together because of the broken ankle and severe eczema on my hands. The ankle has healed, unfortunately, not the eczema, although it is a wee bit better lately.
It will be good to see the works hanging collectively in one place and get feedback and ideas from onlookers. One always hopes for a few paintings to go to new homes - we'll see how that goes.
The photo attached to this post is of 'Three Sunflowers', my latest and largest to date at 24" x 30". Larger canvases are waiting for inspiration.
