Another CFS Show at Todmorton Mills
May 13 08
Once again, Colour and Form is having its spring/summer juried show at Todmorton Mills on Pottery Road in the Don Valley. Its a great venue, a historic site and coincides with Doors Open Toronto with its opening on Saturday, May 24th 1 - 4 p.m. Go and enjoy the show and the historic buildings. Another original collagraph of mine is in the show: "Its a Slice". In case you've forgotten what a collagraph print is - here's an explanation:
Collagraph: About Texture
Collagraph plates are hand made by building up texture on a firm flat surface. Different materials – papers, fabrics, straw, string, are used to create texture, along with the gesso and acrylic mediums used to fasten them. Once the plate is ‘sealed’ on both sides, it is finished with a layer of matte acrylic medium. Oil based inks are applied, then wiped to remove excess, before running the plate, covered with damp printing paper, through the press by hand. The textured image from the plate is embossed into the paper, along with the colours of ink used, so special papers are needed to accept the embossing. The result is a Collagraph Print.
NEW SHOW in JUNE
With 8 friends at Beaux-Arts Brampton, we are planning a show for June 17 - 28th, 2008 called Pears Pairs & Pares. Official opening is Saturday June 21st, 12 - 3 p.m. and dovetails with the season opening of Brampton's Farmer's Market, right in front of the Gallery! So in fact we'll be open from 8 a.m. on. Invitation will be posted later.

Although I've Been Away, I'm Back
May 13 08
Hi friends,
Although I haven't taken the time to update my blog, I've been busy artistically and in other ways too. Apologies to you who have been watching the blog, hoping to see some recent work.
One of my original Collagraph Prints - "Pear 3/4 View" was juried into the Beaux-Arts Brampton Open Juried Show 2008, by independent jurors Christine Boyanoski and Brian Smith who did a sensational job of jurying 260 pieces of art and putting together a cohesive show in the two galleries. Here was my contribution, which also won 2nd prize - the David H. Semple Award of Excellence, donated by a member of BAB, Helen Purvis, in memory of her life partner. I was honoured to have a piece in the show at all, and surprised as anything to win a prize.
