Flabbergast-Ted

Thank you to everyone that stopped in to Hillcrest Mall in Richmond Hill over the weekend. I thought you would like to see the finished demo painting, 'Flabbergast-Ted' .  

Visitors who came to Hillcrest as I was demoing were asked to guess what the baby and Ted might be looking at.  Some of their ideas were: hundreds of butterflies, snow for the first time, Santa, mommy dying her hair purple, Dad taking a photo with a big flash and a huge hairy spider. I'd love to hear any other ideas you may have.

Greening the Hill, Our Community, Our Future

It was the official unveiling of my painting yesterday evening to celebrate The Town of Richmond Hill’s first Environment Strategy, 'Greening the Hill: Our Community, Our Future'.

Here are some photos for you with Mayor Dave Barrow, Terry Ricketts the Director of the Environment Services Department and members of Council

You can also see a photo of me with the Town of Richmond Hill's Environment Services Department that commissioned me to create the painting.

 The painting will be used as the cover art for the document and the original will become part of the Towns permenant art collection.

Finished Painting

I have just finished the painting that will be used for the wrap around cover of a publication.

Now I get to hand over all the hard work to my husband who has the job of photographing it and producing the colour matched digital file to be sent to the publishers for printing.

Thank you for all your e mails and messages as I have been working on this project. It was so lovely to be chosen to capture elements of where I live in a piece of artwork and I am glad you have all enjoyed watching it develop over the last few weeks.
