SPRING IS HERE!

by aucoins on March 27, 2012

..or so it seems!  the robins are here for sure and to stay.  Lots of exciting news for me and my art is taking place.  I attended the Hants County Arts Council Show at the Bread Gallery in Brooklyn, NS  this month and met some lovely folks.  The art that was displayed was varied, interesting and lovely…so much talent in this area!  i met the lovely Tasha, President/Chair of the HCAC and got some information about the organization.  I have joined their membership and look forward to meeting more artists in the community and surrounding areas.  There are lots of events planned for this year and I am so looking forward to hearing about them and joining up.

The Great Little Art show in Newport Landing is staking place April 27-29th.  If I can create enough pieces for this show (and the next in amherst), I will take part in it.

May 4,5,6, 2012 will be exciting for me as I will be participating in the Home & Cottage Show in Amherst, NS…this weekend event will be held at the Amherst Stadium.  I will have my art booth right across from Main Stage and I will be doing a portrait starting on Friday and completing it by Sunday…come out and enjoy this wonderful show!  It promises to be a great venue to jump start everyone into summer!

So, I’m busy painting and getting pieces of art ready for this show…and I best stop blogging and get to work.  Happy spring everyone!

March is here and so is the ‘Suette”….we’re having a SouthEaster as well….lots of wind and rain our way today.  Oh well, it’s bringing us closer to spring.  Heading for a quick trip to Cheticamp tomorrow with my sis….haven’t been down in years.  John and I are planning a longer visit this August.

On the Art side of things, I have been invited to attend a meeting/art display of the local Art Council in Brooklyn…looking forward to meeting other artists and finding out what is going on in the art world in West/East Hants.  More on that next week after the event.  Until next time….
