New Fun Painting - Ballerina Girls

Hi Everyone, Hope you are all doing well. Things have been going well and I have been busy these past days preparing for the summer exhibition this weekend.

Also I just finished a painting I did for my little niece Margaux who is turning 3 months old this Saturday. I cant believe how fast time is flying by! It’s quite cute and I thought I would share the pic with you all.

Margaux and Friends, 40 x 50 cm, Acrylics
Also here is a more generic one I did. Basically the same painting with a hand painted "Friends" template on top of the banner - to be sold as prints, cards, etc. I also have one where the orange banner is left blank, so I can add all sorts of things to the banner: Happy Birthday, Girl Power, personal names, etc.... the possibilities are endless...lol. It was really fun painting this one. Andreas wants to do a story book now based on these little characters…LOL.


And here's my little Boo

Have a great weekend everyone! and happy painting!

Colours of Tuscany

Hi Everyone, I just finished my Colours of Tuscany painting. Lots of beautiful golds, oranges and greens in this one, with our course the beautiful sunflowers of Italy. Tuscany is one of my cherished places and I love all the colours and beauty it offers. I enjoyed painting this one. This painting is 60 x 80 cm in acrylics and I am quite pleased with it. It will be part of the Fall exhibition in November at the gallery. It looks like I already may have a buyer .....so that is quite exciting. Wishing you all a lovely upcoming weekend. ACDC is coming to Montreal and we will be going to see them. My husband is a big fan and I acutally like them too!

Hi Everyone, The unveiling of the new signboard at the Galerie de La Rive too place earlier this week. It was a lovley event. Partners of the Gallery, Desjardins Caisse Populaire Trillium as well as representatives from RONA J. Lalonde & Sons of Hammond, Ont. were present at the event. Thanks to their financial support, the Galerie de la Rive was able to fund and erect the new Sign. Also present was the mayor of Clarence-Rockland, Richard Lalonde, who assured the city’s continued support of the Galerie de la Rive and its artists. This new Signboard is a tangible representation of the presence of art and artists in the community.

Happy Customer - My Shoes from Zazzle

Hi Everyone, Sorry I have been away on vacation and have not posted since. We had a quiet vacation and the weather was not very nice. Lots of rain here in Eastern Canada and around the Great Lakes Region. A very wet summer an quite cool. Well, I am now back to work and busy with the publicity work for the gallery and the upcoming exhibition in August.

I received a lovely email from a happy customer who purchased My Tuscan Poppies design on Keds shoes from Zazzle. She is thrilled with her shoes and the quality.

Here are a few pictures of the shoes she sent me:



Here is what Cheryl said the about the shes: "I totally suggest them to anyone. They don't fit to the small side. I run 7 to an 8 and the 7 1/2 gives enough room for socks or fine without. The Tuscan Poppies turned out really great!!!"
