There are times when you just need to pull out the palette knife and go for it. This was one of those times. I couldn't sleep one night and was tossing and turning, when suddenly I just felt the need to paint. So in the wee hours of the night, I pulled out all the stops and just went for it. The hues of Brillant colors melted like butter as they were applied to the canvas. What a great feeling, and then wouldn't you know it, I was tired, went back to bed and slept like a rock.
Here are the two new murals I have just completed for Beiseker School and the Town of Irricana. I seem to be spending a lot of time painting large pieces this summer and helping coordinate the mural program in Irricana. We have 20 murals in total now in town with more coming. Come and check them out. http://www.irricana.com/
AIRDRIE7 was created informally in response to a personal need for community, creativity and support. Almost the antithesis of the originial Group of Seven, this groups consists of women, mothers, artists and their focus is not necessarily on the landscape but on their feelings and response to their immediate environment.
