The show begins tonight

April 12, 2013

After a winter of working away, we all have lots of bright new works to share with everyone. We hope people come and visit. With masses of snow still on the ground, there is definitely no garden work going on this year. So come see the show for some colour, music, and conversation. See you there!

One week to go - to the show!

April 5, 2013

Well, suddenly it is one week until our annual spring show - Artists' Workshop. Although looking out the window, spring is nowhere in sight here. We hope that everyone can come by and enjoy some colour after months of monochrome white.

Back in business - and looking forward

I am really happy that Redberry Art is back again in its great revised format (thanks to my internet gurus).

Redberry Art Revised

January 12, 2013

The website has now undergone its updates and revisions and is ready to head into 2013 with a new look. Huge thanks and gratitude goes to the wizards behind the curtain, Ariane Khachatourians and Bruno De Bondt. The site is now running on the current Drupal version and has been redesigned. I hope you enjoy the new look.

Art Trek starts today!

June 8, 2012

Well, here we are! Tonight at 5 begins the start of Art Trek. Our group set up this morning and the place looks great - like a working art bazaar. What fun. Here is the flyer with the information. Also, see our Facebook page. Hope to see you over the next couple of days...

On to the next thing

April 18, 2012

We had a great Artists' Workshop spring show. Lots of people came by all three days. We had many positive comments as well, about the variety and quality of the works that we displayed. This was my board display. We also had some paintings around the walls as well. The big tulip was quite a hit! I think everyone was in the mood for some spring colour. Thanks to everyone who came out to the show. You can see more photos from the show by going to the Artists' Workshop site and clicking on the flickr link on the right.

Almost ready

April 8, 2012

Just a few days now to our spring show. This year I am feeling quite relaxed about the whole process. I have enjoyed my first winter painting with my new group, the Artists's Workshop. The incentive of working together every Monday has been a great motivator. Also, this group shows just paintings, so there isn't the work of cards and reproductions to do. I still have cards if anyone wants them; they can just get in touch with me. So all the paintings that will be done for this show are finished. The framing is done.

With spring, new shows

March 20, 2012

Today is the first day of spring, which of course brought snow to us. I have been painting away, getting ready for our annual spring show. Here is the information:

Go big or go home, part II

March 14, 2012

I did get inspired by doing the big tulip, and decided to do a second painting in the same size. I sketched in one idea with charcoal. No, didn't like it. The composition didn't work on that scale. Think of another possibility. A spring landscape, focusing in closely. Sketched it out and started the under painting. No, didn't like that either. Too bland and high key. For the most part, I like lots of contrast. So, ponder some more. Aha, a big orange. I love painting oranges, particularly if they are backlit.

It's spring somewhere!

March 1, 2012

The first of March, days are longer, sun is stronger, particularly noticeable here in the more northern latitudes. I like how it stays light in the afternoon/early evening, like a long twilight here, once we are past the shortest day. We have had an odd, almost non-winter here. That has been a treat in many ways. Parka and boots have done little duty this winter. And now that March has officially arrived, the potential for the real cold is limited. We have some snow, and we can get good snowfalls in March here. So it will be some weeks yet before spring actually arrives here.

Mark your calendars!
