It's Still Summer


Happy September and it’s still summer!!!  We had a very productive summer and hope you got to enjoy yours in every and any way you wanted to.  Last July, my husband and I travelled to Scotland, where we went to discover the country and fell in love with the culture – it’s people – and lifestyle.  We took buses, trains and drove, not to mention we walked, walked and walked some more.  I have been so inspired by the landscape  that I painted 4 smaller paintings already!!  More in the works and it can very well get piled high on my to-do list.

This brings me on to August, where I painted new material and tried to finish a few projects started in the spring.  Some of which are on display at the Oshawa Art Fall Show, which is on-going this weekend – Sept. 9-10-11.

As September pushes through, I know I will be busy once more teaching in various locations.  Among them, at the Visual Arts Centre in Bowmanville, where I continue to teach Acrylic Abstract painting every Thursdays starting Sept. 22nd.  Likewise, all my classes get started again both in senior’s community centres in Oshawa and Whitby.

I am going to be having a semi-private workshop at my home on Sept. 24-25, called Abstracted Landscapes.  We will go through 2 different styles of taking a landscape and abstracting it and you will learn many different approaches and techniques. I only take 4-6 people – so if you are interested please email me right away!! marissa@marissasweet.com  I do not run many workshops from my home studio, so now is the time to grab it and register.  $130.00/pp from 10-4 both days.

I cannot wait to see all of you again as the fall term starts up again.
