Hello Everyone,
I hope you have not been affected much by the forest fires this season. We have been slightly affected by air quality, here in Medicine Hat. Some “plein air” artists I know have needed to adjust their travel plans and work indoors to avoid the smoke. I am grateful for our country's firefighters, our law enforcement teams and those who have been assisting others who evacuated their homes. Fortuntaley, we have seen a number of rain showers in the past weeks which is helping the situation.
Tommorow we celebrate Canada's Birthday, marking the confederation of Canada in 1867. We are a diverse nation, encompassing provinces and territories with unique histories and cultures. I try to actively embrace and celebrate our diverse population. Sometimes this has me pondering my own heritage with it's faults and successes, and the various belief systems I am exposed to.
Canadians are people from all backgrounds and are encouraged to maintain their cultural heritage while integrating into Canadian society. By trying to foster a sense of inclusivity we have become a mosaic. This approach has not been easy for some people, especially if we are not open to change, differences, and new ways of looking at things. What is important to me is that love of people and nature is onging and valued. We have a unique blend of influences. I continue to hope is that love, respect and forgiveness for others is held high. I appreaciate many of our country's achievements and don't take for granted the FREEDOM we have. We are not perfect. We are a work in progress and have work to do. We are very fortunate in so many ways!
Happy 158th Birthday Canada!

Here’s my latest ART UPDATE!
Federation of Canadian Artist's - Calgary Chapter:
- I participated in the FCA-Calgary Chapter Spring Art Show in April, turnout was terrific!
- Prairiescape #20 was sold at the show.
- The client loved the collage, especially the colours and the red maple leaf on the elevator. Normally I put my work in black frames but this blue frame was a hit!
- Over the past few months I attended a few FCA art workshops and art demonstrations. The on-line workshops were related to art business dealings and one focused on ideas and procedures working with a "series" of art work. There was a lot of review for me in the workshops and demo. However, I was glad to learn a few new things.
- I attended our Chapter's "Annual Meeting" in Calgary. There was a good turnout of members. It was good to connect with other artists. Many were pleased that the available board positions were filled, yippee! Our next meeting will be in September.
-If you are looking to take an art workshop check out FCA-Calgary-workshops Our Chapter has an active workshop team that brings in instructors from across Canada and abroad.
Leighton Art Centre:
-I have been invited to participate in the "Monthly Member Collection", for the month of July. Each month of the year, selected artists have the opportunity to showcase a collection of their artwork in the Gallery Shop. This practice highlights artists from the community within the Leighton Art Centre, as well as in their on-line store and on social media channels.
-I dropped off 7 original Grain Elevator pieces to the centre, part of my Prairiescape-Remnants series. This series has been well received by people across Canada, especially in Alberta.
-Lately I have been playing with story ideas and metaphors in this rural series. With joy, I am pleased to say I painted my first chickens on canvas! If you are curious what I am talking about check out my painting “Let the Games Begin”.
-On July 1st images, sizes and prices will be on my website and this website:
Leighton Art Centre Online Shop
(Note: on my website look under Collages or Paintings to find my recent art work.)
(Note: Computer monitors & cell phone images can alter image colours.)
-The drive to the Leighton Art Centre is quite lovely in the summer and fall.
Medicine Hat Visitor's Centre:
-Card and print sales have picked up since the May long weekend and will probably be strong till mid-September. I love that Tourists from all over the world visit Medicine Hat. Both visitors and locals support us artisans by purchasing our work.
Annegrets Chocolates:
- The owners were quite pleased with the new cards I recently supplied them. (Images of paintings, collages, and of flowers I have grown.)
- Recently they asked if I would be interested in showing a larger art piece in the shop, so customers could see the connection between the cards and the originals. Soon they will be hanging my original painting “The Quiet of Frayssinet” and 3 Prairiescape-Remnants "ready to hang" canvas prints.
- This image shows a sample of some of the Art Cards I sell there.

“I work primarily with acrylics, alcohol ink and mixed media. I love to make large spontaneous marks when I begin most paintings. These loose marks suggest routes that I can take with the work. Since I am a tactile learner it is important for me to add layers of texture to my work, allowing me to feel my way through the piece. This assists me in achieving a sense of depth. I love variety; it is a must in my art practice! Abstract thought and life’s metaphors have my interest.” (Lori Clipperton)
