🏆People’s Choice Award - Long Brush

Thank you to everyone who attended the Brush With Nature show in Kentville this weekend

Pleased to announce that “Rowboat and Dock at High Tide (while it lasted)” won the People’s Choice Award (Long Brush) yesterday.

So thank you to everyone who attended and voted, the turnout for the show was wonderful. Thrilled to see that ribbon next to my work. Thank you.

And thank you especially to R.D. Chisholm LTD Stationery & Books for sponsoring this award. I appreciate the gift certificate and look forward to shopping in your store in Downtown Kentville.

Brush With Nature show and sale continues until the end of August at the King’s County Museum in Kentville at 37 Cornwallis Street.

The work created during this event by about 30 participating artists is beautiful, varied and worth the time to visit and view.

Congratulations to the staff and members of the King’s County Museum on successfully launching Brush With Nature — en plein air this year. Getting an event like this off the ground is a huge accomplishment. I’m honoured to be part of this inaugural year.

Managed to get in another painting session this morning at my sister’s place along the Bay of Fundy. Such a beautiful area and the weather was perfect, could see clear through to the Jurassic shoreline in Cumberland. 🦕

I settled on a couple of ancient rock formations as the tide quickly retreated (the water moves so fast here) for an oil sketch.

As warm and summery as the weather still is, can you feel the coolness of August starting to work its way into the evenings? Refreshing after such a hot and dry summer. Fall is only a month away (officially September 22nd).

With autumn in mind, I’m beginning to pull together Season Two of the podcast and looking forward to sharing the upcoming conversations with you. Hope you enjoy them.

Thank you, for your encouragement and support, it is greatly appreciated. ♥️
