Macro Monday – Close-ups at the Art Gallery
I love the close-up detail in art. Often you can’t get close enough to appreciate it. Here are some of the details picked up with my camera at the Monochrome Moments Show at WAAC this week.
Here are the complete pieces.

When Space Limitations Prevent a Contribution

I have never worked in a large format before and I was determined to give it a go. I bought two blank canvases that were 30″x40″ and when put together as one piece I would have met the minimum requirements for the show “A Large Art Affair”. When I got home and hauled the canvases to my small studio I realized that my small space wouldn’t allow me to paint on such a large surface. So for now, my purchase sits in the hallway outside my bedroom. I’m hoping in the summer when the weather warms up and we can open the outdoor studio again, my husband will let me share his space. The other option is to paint up at the cottage where I have lots of room.
In the meantime, the show “A Large Art Affair” has been installed and is now open to the public. Here is a sampling of what the Dignam gallery has in store for the visiting public.

Back in January I helped curate and hang the Black and White Show at WAAC. It has quickly become on of my favourite exhibitions at Women’s Art in Toronto. I’m already looking forward to next year’s show.
Installing the Black and White Show at WAAC
…probably one of my favourite shows
On Wednesday I spent four hours helping with the installation for the Black and White Show at Women’s Art. I love camaraderie when working with this talented group of women. It’s a beautiful show and I hope those of you who live close by will come downtown to check it out.

More shots from the mall, a trio of swans and trios of artwork at WAAC.
If you have any trios to share I’d love to see them. Just copy my link and paste it into your post. I’ll be sure to check it out and leave a comment.
Back to My Drawing Table
…getting ready for the Black and White Show
It’s been awhile since I painted anything. I’ve used a medium that I’ve only dabbled in. These two pieces are made with charcoal and ink. I still need to name them. If you can think of anything I would definitely consider it.
Both are framed and matted in a 11″x14″ frame.

Getting Ready for Two Shows
…a very busy week
Today. Kevin and I are participating in a Holiday Gift Fair at Montgomery’s Inn. Originally I was only going to display our photo and art cards and a few small paintings but I decided to fill in the display with some Christmas items that I whipped up in the last few days. Here is a sample of what’s going on our table.
On Friday I’m going to Women’s Art, downtown to help set up the next show called Small Gems. It’s our annual fundraiser where all the art is small and costs no more than $400.00 but averages at about $120.00. I’m submitting three pieces from my last show so all the hard work is done. Saturday is the official opening reception which I will also be attending.
