art + story
So here are some recent paintings- some for Christmas presents, others resulting from my newfound fox fascination. Not quite sure why foxes seem to be the first things that show up on a page- must be something to do with that awesome orange. A new-ish colour for me. Usually I just stick to blue.
The past weekend until now has been busting full of artistic inspiration, partially provided by my cute, artsy parents. I just got back from seeing some of their artwork in the ‘anonymous show’ in North Van. This show is a cool idea for a fundraiser (for the North Vancouver Arts Council maybe?) where people submit canvases that are all the same size (8 in x 8 in I think, some small size) and the selected works are all displayed anonymously and sold for $100, with half of the money going to the Arts Council. Spoiler alert: I am going to show which pieces were made by my parents, because I’m proud of them and actually like the pieces. I also took some photos of some other favourites.
Eastside Culture Crawl- hopefully anyone in Vancouver knows what this is. Artists in Vancouver’s eastside, mostly East of Clark Drive, North of 1st, open their studios to the public and allow everyone to wander around and ogle their work. It’s awesome.
so. . . i am uploading an image from a story that i’m working on. the story is about a young girl who is dealing with worries that take the form of clouds and weigh her down. this illustration is from later on in the story. the focus on the camera isn’t so good, so i might wait until i get my hands on a different one to take some better pictures before i upload the others.
