My first art show


SOLD!
Hello,

I'm giving a bit shout out and thank you to all my friends, colleagues and the general public who came to look at my art @ the Sportsplex. I made only one sale but I kept a guestbook and had some positive feedback. I was told my art is very ecletic. It was also great to see so many different artistic styles and to talk to other artists about their painting methods.
Please keep posted... I will be updating my gallerywith all the work from the sale.
E-gallery: Visual Kin E-Gallery

Cheers,

Karen

Nice..I'm the featured artist on www.localart.ca/

It seems my painting of Peggy's Cove in Technicolour is the featured painting on Local Art. ... a little exciting, eh?

Check it out!

Keep checking back please: I'll have another preview of the "X mas Pottery & Art Sale" & Art lending.

Preview of Nov. Art sale @ Nepean Sportsplex






I've been working too much recently and haven't been drawing/painting as furiously. My new mat cutter is amazing, and my hand is getting steadier after ruining a few mats. It's been nice to finally mat watercolours that have been sitting in a plastic bag neglected for years.



I am selling art at a pre-X-mas art sale on NOV. 25-26.
Where: Nepean Sportsplex
When: Saturday, Nov. 25 @ 11 am-6pm
Sunday, Nov. 26 @ 10 am-5 pm
What: Paintings (watercolour, acrylic), sketches, digital imagery posters

Please come out if you know me or see a painting you like on here.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre.

Thanks!

New art





I haven't updated in a while. I'm preparing for an art show/sale, and finally painted a watercolour after probably a 10 year drought. It wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. Watercolour is a medium where you have to be fearless with your first touch.
ArtSpace gallery is at http://public.fotki.com/visualkin/art_gallery/ (please don't steal images).

Cheers... KC

Thanks so much for all your support


Thank you so much to all my friends, colleagues and total strangers for all the support and the positive feedback. It really means a lot to me. It's always hard starting out: I made my first sale through this site, and I am encouraged to have a springboard for my name/art. Please feel free to leave me a message--especially if you've bought a piece from me.

I look forward to hearing from you and am very excited about the opportunities that will come my way.
