Tiger, Tiger, Burning Bright

I love the big cats, and tigers are one of my favourites. They look so gentle and are in reality so dangerous...especially when taking care of their young.  

Here is a photograph of a tiger that is very similar to a panel I just purchased featuring a tiger.  Look forward to seeing a new creation called "Shirkan" by the end of the year.  I would love to say by the end of the summer, but that's not going to happen.

 

Coming This Summer

Life has just been so busy.  It seems that I am more in the mood to quilt these days,  so I have been designing door quilts.  They will hang in ArtScene Spencerville, and as I finish them, I will be sure to take pictures, and post them on the blog.  They aren't large -about 27" x 60" and hang on magnets on steel doors.  

The next ones to watch out for will be entitled "Roses of Summer" and will be pastels in a dark border.  I don't have it all designed yet, but it should be interesting.  

Our feature exhibit, for the month of June at ArtScene Spencerville is entitled "The Art of Flowers", and will be a group exhibit.  Please come and visit us during the month to see some wonderful new work by our artists.

Our Grand Re-Opening Was A Fantasic Success!!!!

We had our grand re-opening on Saturday, April 5th and everything went off without a hitch.  Our MP, Gord Brown joined us, and our MPP, Steve Clark, was with us in spirit.   

ArtScene received well wishes from both, as well as an artistic achievement award from the Friends of the Spencerville Public Library.  The media and radio coverage was spectacular, and we had lots of coverage from all the local newspapers and radio stations, as well as some television coverage.  All in all, a great day.  The video coverage can be seen on the Eastern Ontario Network and the link is on my Facebook page. Here are a couple of pictures, of the speakers, and my work in the background, along with two of Christopher Fawcett's photographs.
