AEmilia the Brave - oil on canvas 14″ x 14″
Went to the Juried Art Salon opening reception last night. Well I actually went early as I was setting up for it, arranging flowers/food&beverages for the evening. It went well, it was a huge turnout. The above painting is in the show. There was a lot of interesting stuff there, quite a mix of medium and form. The prize money is getting more substantial each year, thanks to a generous doner…the Linda Morris Fund. Nice to see the arts crowd come out and mingle. Julie Davidson-Smith won first prize ($1500) for her piece ‘Joyful Darkness’. It is an amazing encaustic piece. Hanna Back also won for a beautiful ceramic sculpture called ‘The Blue Inside’. Also photographer Martine Bresson won for her recent work photographed in the Congo. It’s really exciting to see what is happening for the visual art world in Kingston. The one thing we now need is a larger venue to hold the event in and everything would be perfect!

Hi Sally,
Yes, Lindsey has asked me to speak too. (she just thoguth ….who likes to shoot her mouth off!!!) I’m looking forward to that, some press for the arts community.
See you there. Carolyn
Loved your entry!
Hi Sally! Thanks for the wonderful compliment on my blog. This profile portrait is GREAT! Wish I could zoom in and see it up close. I’m all ajitter this morning because I’ve set up a portrait marathon for myself today. Eight oil portraits in eight hours. I have eight willing subjects scheduled throughout the day (at the little art academy I teach pastel classes for). I’ll let you know how it goes!
