My New Toys

Every artist wants the ultimate carry all! We seem to collect alot of brushes, paints, tools and gizmos. With Christmas coming this might be the little hint you wish to pass on.

I managed to find this great storage box, complete with wheels at Costco for under $25. it has 47 pockets, at least and is very handy not only for travelling, but for organizing my reference photos, receipts, brushes, etc.

Art Show Season

Thanks to all of you that attended the Urban Roots Show with the West Wind Artists. What a variety of art...we had over 80 pieces from contemporary to Realism. It certainly is a funky place to show at. We had a photo and a nice article in the St. Albert Gazette featuring the seven of us. It is open 12:00-4:00 most days.

October and November are filled with art show openings to attend. I enjoyed the Gallery Walk in Edmonton early this afternoon and visited with Cindy and Jim at Out of the Fire Studio on 124st st and Jasper Ave. I have a few pieces there (the rest are at Urban Roots and the Wood Gundy Show) and went to see how the turn out was....fantastic! If you didn't make it there this weekend be sure to drop by. Not only do they have great art, they also have beautiful glass pieces that would be perfect for Christmas giving.

We continue to get new artist joining us at Hidden Talent! Welcome to all of you and I know you will enjoy the atmosphere and great company that we have in the studio! The Winter 2008 Schedule is now ready and if you would like to reserve your place, please let me know. If you know of anyone interested in taking art lessons, please pass this info on and we can accommodate them before the Jan. rush!
