Hi Everyone,
It’s been a very busy 6 months! This note will catch you up (almost) on what’s happened and
will set the stage now for regular Facebook and Blog updates.
The summer was busy at the Fort Langley Artist Group’s
(FLAG) Flagstop Gallery located inside the original Fort Langley train
station. During the summer we held
several events and I enjoyed painting at the gallery.
The Surrey Arts Council held their annual Art Walk at the
Cloverdale Blueberry Festival. I
was thrilled to win 1st Place for my original acrylic painting “Cedar
Falls Shuswap”.
The Blueberry Festival was one of a series of events over
the summer in which I had an opportunity to meet enthusiastic art lovers and
sell several of my paintings. I
had a great time with my fellow artists at the Aldergrove Country Fair Days,
the Langley Arts Council event during the annual “Cruise-In” as well as the
International Arts Festival held at the Langley Events Centre. Again this year I participated in the
Langley Artists Studio Tour where my show was held at the Neck-of-The-Woods
Winery.
This Fall I was honoured to be selected by the Langley Arts
Council to paint one of their life-size fiberglass horses. The Council offered these horses as a
fundraiser for the Council’s support and work with local artists. My horse was sponsored by the Otter Coop
and depicts scenes from rural langley.
Rumor has it that my horse will join his four siblings on display in the
Langley Willowbrook Mall in January.
There’s definitely
a story to this 7 foot 2 hundred pound horse so stay tuned for some pictures!
Louise
