Saturday, February 4 was the last opening for
Les Richesses des Terres Humides, my series of watercolors of waterways and marshes in southeastern New Brunswick, Canada. The show has travelled to three other venues in New Brunswick since July, 2011, in conjunction with the
Regard Parallèle program of the
Conseil provincial des sociétés culturelles. The project began with the controversial Restoration Project of the Petitcodiac River and expanded to include other wetlands. Painted on location and in the studio between July 2009 and February 2011, the series has been well-received by the local media and the public around the province. The exhibition is open until March 14 at the
Salon Hélène Grant-Guerrette gallery in the Centre Communautaire Samuel de Champlain, Saint John, New Brunswick.
When the weather improves I plan to return to sketching outdoors. However, the focus of my work has changed from depicting a specific scene to more simplified and evocative forms. Perhaps I will develop new ways to combine watercolor, acrylic, and textural materials while sketching.
