Pynelogs 100th Anniversary Celebration

My grandmother and I pose in front of the 12" x 12" painting that I donated for the celebration. The painting depicted my Grandmother, Jean Cartwright (Kennedy) when she was a nurse at the Lady Elizabeth Memorial Hospital ( present day Pynelogs). 100 tickets were sold at $100.00 each and guaranteed that the ticket holder would leave with one of the canvases at the end of the night. My Grandmother was one of those ticket holders.

My father, Colin Cartwright and my Aunt Carol (Berube) were born at the Lady Elizabeth Memorial Hospital. 

The tickets were drawn randomly and a good friend of my Grandmothers, Helen Kipp, was drawn first. She was able to choose first from the gallery of 100 pieces of art. Helen rushed over to the painting of my Grandmother and staked her claim. She then turned to us and said that she was giving the painting to my Grandmother. She said that she thought it should stay in the family. What a beautiful and generous thing to do!

A glimpse into the past.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Pynelogs in 

Invermere, B.C. It is presently the cultural hub of the 

Columbia Valley. In years past it was used as a 

hospital and a care home for the mentally disabled and 

the elderly. Pictured below is my grandmother, 

Jean Cartwright, she was a nurse at the Lady 

Elizabeth Memorial Hospital (Pynelogs). 

I decided to paint a portion of this photo 

as my donation to the 100 years celebration.

This 12" x 12" canvas will be one of a hundred original 

pieces of art that will be drawn by ticket holders during

the celebrations at Pynelogs on Saturday, July 19th, 2014. 

Hope to see you there for wine, music 

and dancing under the stars!

Cheers!

POSTCARDS

My husband made this stand for my post cards out of

old barn board. The post cards I printed are of local

views and wildlife in our valley. They are available at 

the Canal Flats Family Pantry for $1.50 each.

P.S. - The Headwaters Art Society is exhibiting at Pynelogs, in Invermere next week. I will have three new pieces for display as well as 5 of my 4" x 4" tiles. Join me on Wednesday evening from 6:00pm to 9:00pm for the opening night.

Cheers!

This Thursday and Saturday I will be setting up my easel at Pynelogs Cultural Center in Invermere, B.C. If you are in the area please feel free to stop by and chat with me. Cheers!

THANK YOU....
to everyone who has supported me over
the past year as I have prepared for my 
show at Pynelogs Cultural Center in 
Invermere, B.C. I enjoyed the opportunity 
to talk with friends and family last night,
and to meet the other artists and patrons
during the evening. My dear friend Violet
came out from Calgary just to attend my 
opening reception. I hope you will stop by
the gallery and peruse the artworks 
displayed there in this, the last show of the
season. The exhibit remains open until
Sunday the 29th of September, 2013.
I have updated my "GALLERY" page 
here on my blog with the paintings from the 
show. Cheers and many thanks everyone!

POPPIES

I really enjoy painting flowers
and these bright orange poppies
are a great contrast against the
green and brown of the flower
bed behind them.

I am making final preparations
for my show at Pynelogs on
September 17th - 29th, 2013.
I hope you will join me for a
glass of wine at the reception
Wednesday, September 18th
from 7:00pm to 9:00pm.

Cheers!

Straight From The Horses Mouth

I am currently working on a painting of the 

Clydesdale horses at Fort Steele. The canvas

measures 24" x 48", which works out to a total 

of 8 square feet. It is a huge undertaking,

especially with tiny little brushes. I can't wait to

unveil the finished work at my show at Pynelogs

Cultural Center in Invermere. The show opens on

Tuesday, September 17th and runs for 2 weeks. 

The reception is held on Wednesday, September 

18th, from 7pm to 9pm. I hope you will join me then!

P.S. My friend Paula Cravens  has a reception this Wednesday evening, August 21st at Pynelogs from 7pm to 9pm. Come on out and view some great art.

WOOD BURNING

Years ago my grandmother gave me a wood burning tool

that had belonged to my grandfather. Recently, I created this

8 x 10 panel that shows a red tailed hawk perched on a tree

 branch. I plan to frame and display it at Pynelogs during the

Headwaters Art Society's show in May. The exhibit will take

place from May 14th to May 28th, 2013. The reception is being

 held on Friday, May 17th, 2013.

Hope to see you there!
