Fun filled Friday!

So our Friday the 13th wasn't spooky, it was just jam packed! We were asked to set up a display in front of the Comox Valley Art Gallery as part of their "Get Your Arts Outside" event that happens every Friday from noon till 4pm this summer. The CVEx was going to be there as well with the cutouts I did for them, there was live music, a lady spinning wool, another artist painting onsite and ME :)

After our day there we had to rush home, unpack the van and get ready for the backyard concert we were hosting here with the lovely and talented Stacy Burke and adorable and funny Ben Sures.

It was a very full day but one that was quite enjoyable! I am, however looking forward to some upcoming down time even though we are working on organizing a Health & Wellness fair event that we will be having in our backyard in September which I'm looking forward to. The next couple weeks the calendar isn't super full like it has been and that has me already feeling a lot more relaxed! Today we're taking a leisurely road trip out to Coombs Country Market and will maybe stop off at a river or take in the sand castle competition in Qualicum on the way home.

Cutouts for the CVEx

I was asked by the Comox Valley Exhibition to design/paint cutouts for their fair at the end of August. The designs are on t-shirts, used in their advertising and now they have life-sized cutouts to display at the fair. They had a naming contest for the animals and the names have been chosen.

They are:

Chicken = "Chicklet"

Cow = "Ms.Cowaline"

Pig= "Truffle"

Horse = "Sir Neigh"

Sheep = "Marshmallow"

Here I am with the Herd...

This was such a fun project!

My artwork is going to be in a MUSICAL!

I am super excited that I was asked for my artwork to be used in the upcoming musical, Common Ground, written and produced by the super talented Joey Clarkson.

The scene for this musical is set in a cafe which will be a real working cafe during intermission where people can order drinks. The story is incredibly fun and is based around internet dating.

It'll be playing at the Vanier theatre from Aug 18-22. You don't want to miss it! :)
