Spruce Grove Show

One of the groups of artists I belong to is called Critique Masters. We get together to critique each other’s work, to discuss challenges in our various pursuits of excellence, to brainstorm for future projects and decide for which shows to apply. Our choice of media and subject matter are very disparate yet we come together in surprising ways.  We got together in early December, bringing the work we hoped to display in Allied Arts Centre in Spruce Grove for January. One of the best assets we have as a group is our sense of humour. I showed up with five paintings, one of which was a red herring. It was the same size as the one I had in mind, just not the correct painting…. Doug showed up with one that was, perhaps, a third finished and Doris came with an entirely different series…. Judy had everything she needed because we met in her studio! So we liked what we saw. Last week we hung the show amidst a great deal of laughter and bravery (holding the nail for someone else to hammer). Standing back we were delighted with the result. Delicious! Speaking of which we went out to lunch. We found it to be a perfectly enjoyable afternoon. Should you be in the neighbourhood do drop in to take a look. The gallery is located at the back of the library, 35 5^th Avenue. We will all be in attendance on January 14^th in the afternoon. Fun!
