In the news

Last night was the Vernissage or opening night for the 128th Annual Art Show of the historic Women's Art Society of Montréal (WASM), with two of my watercolours on display. 
The WASM was established in 1894, at a time when women weren't yet permitted to join (men's) art societies. 
The exhibition continues through May 20, 2023, at the Gallery Gora in downtown Montréal. The Gallery is "a magnificent 9000 sq ft space, in proximity to the Place-des-Arts and the Montreal Contemporary Art Museum".

The theme of this year's art show is "Women in nature", so I selected watercolour paintings showing human's impact on the natural world - with typically Canadian landscapes. The one on the top is a scene from the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, near Banff. The elk there graze right up to the doorsteps of the cabins.
The painting on the bottom is an area of small farms northwest of Montréal, and you'll notice that there are cloudlike shadows on the glass in this photo - the Vernissage was very crowded, so it was impossible to get a photo of this one without anyone's shadow in the glass!
