Art despite pain

In the news

(posted on 1 Feb 2023)

The stars must be aligned in some special way, or maybe it's the creative and artistic influence of the Year of the Rabbit that I wrote about on January 22nd.
Whatever the reason, this is the first time I've ever had watercolour paintings in three different group exhibitions - all at the same time!
First is the "Entre-Nous 2023" gallery exhibition at the historic Trestler House, marking that building's 225th anniversary, which opened on January 19th and continues to March 19, 2023.
Then there's the gallery show and paired online auction with the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association (LPAPA), which runs until February 27, 2023. This is my first participation in an international exhibition, in the United States.
And today the third art show opened, this one a virtual event with Artists in Montréal (AiM). The theme of this "Virtual Valentine's Art Show" is "Object of My Desire", and I took a nature-lover's approach to this one:
What does a kingfisher desire?
A fish, of course!
So my watercolour painting in this virtual art exhibition is "I got one: Kingfisher".
You can view this exhibition by clicking on the Artists in Montréal link below, and then just scroll down on a phone or tablet to see all the artworks.

And feel free to vote for your favourite artwork, whoever the artist is!
