Feast and Forage Under the Hunter Moon

You are cordially invited to an exhibit by two artists based on foraging for food and inspiration in and around the Acadian Forest of Nova Scotia which surrounds our homes.

Uncommon Commom Art Project 2010

This is year 3 for the Uncommon Common Art Project which happens at this time of year in Kings County, Nova Scotia, Canada. I love that our community asks artists to create outdoor artwork along trails, gardens, highways and private properties. It's truly a wonderful surprise to come across one of these pieces haphazardly or to make a day seeking each piece out by following a map.

First Painting for 2010

My latest painting is inspired by the happiness and joy that I feel each day - no matter the season, as I traverse through the Acadian Forest that surrounds my home. Birds, trees, flowers, sky, cloud formations and bespeckled ground of fungal growth - all contribute to my adventures each day while meandering through the forest with my dog.

This piece is titled Two Crows Joy (thanks Kim C. for the title) and is 24" x 48". Acrylic, oil pastel and pencil on canvas.

*Currently on exhibit at Acadia University Art Gallery until March 3, 2010. If you're in Wolfville stop by the gallery for this exhibit - a variety of mediums by a variety of artists. I think it's a fantastic show.
