Art by the lake
Posted: August 28, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized 6 CommentsIf you live in or near Montreal, I hope you’ll be able to join me next weekend (September 6 & 7) at Art by the Lake, the annual outdoor show of the Lakeshore Association of Artists. It’s at quite an amazing location — 50 artists set up on the lakeside grounds of Stewart Hall in Pointe Claire — and a wonderful way to spend an early September afternoon.
This will be my second year taking part in the show and hopefully this year will be easier than last when the wind blowing off the lake was fierce. It took all my strength to keep my canopy from flying away and knocking down all my paintings in the process. As with all the shows that the LAA puts on, a portion of the proceeds will go to a worthy cause — in this case a scholarship for a John Abbott College art student. The show runs from 10 am to 5 pm on both days so please come out to say hello and see all the wonderful artists in our group.
Lucky me! I will be in Montreal to celebrate an anniversary that weekend. I hope to make it to the show.
I hope you’ll come by to say hi Chris. I have a great big banner on my tent so you’ll have no trouble finding me.
I love these boat scenes and the painting is loose and wonderful — love it!
Thanks Jane! As you know, I love painting these boats.
