Congrats to Member MARSHALL BURGESS !!

When the Prime Minister visited Keji Seaside Annex, I met with him and gave him a painting I had done of St. Catherines River Beach which he and his wife visited. 

I have a summer cottage near by in East Side Port L’Hebert.  I was born there.

Contemporary Art Society artists painted in the cool of the Public Gardens on Saturday, July 22nd

It was an enjoyable and productive day as the Gardens were relatively quiet ( some enjoyable concerts at the bandstand throughout the day)

while lots of buzz on the streets for Pride Parade and Designer Craft Fair in Victoria Park.

Friends of the Gardens have partnered with Teichert Gallery for a show of works completed under this program in September.

Artists can sign up to paint as individuals in the Gardens. Look under 150 events on the Public Gardens website for details.

Thanks to Suzanne for coordinating CAS Day of Painting and to those CAS members who participated . A Great Day!

I attended the Canada 150 exhibit at the McCarthy Gallery in Truro today. A number of CAS members were involved in organizing and/or exhibiting art there.

 Congrats to Joanne Muise (wearing her patriotic red and white at the reception) who won third place for "Canadian Dawn".

I also couldn't resist including a photo of Ann Connors with the Canada Day cake she baked for the opening!

Happy Canada Day.
