"Neighbourhood Friends" SOLD

This was the 9th consecutive year 

that the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria

 has invited me to participate in their TD Art Gallery Paint-In

(sometimes still known as the Moss Street Paint-In).

Each year the "Let's all Go to Linnyland demonstration painting"

has included a building from somewhere 

along Victoria's Moss Street. Here is 2014's 

"somewhere along Moss Street Linnyland loooonnng and leaner".

Gallery Treasure

I mentioned in my earlier post on this year's

Art Gallery of Greater Victoria Moss Street Paint-In

that I would post the painting

that I worked on during the event and this is it.

Each year at the Paint -In I have worked on a painting

of a building that is located somewhere along Moss Street

so, this year I decided to get a few reference shots

of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria from the angle of it's

beautiful Asian themed garden.

While I was in the garden getting the photos

I saw the door to the gallery open and I was delighted

to see, Mary-ellen, the co-ordinator of the Paint-In,

come through the door for a coffee break in the beautiful garden!

And, as I mentioned (approximately 30,000 times) during the

Paint-In, the gallery's special garden is a gentle place

to calm one's senses after the stimulation

of taking in all that there is to experience

during a visit to the gallery and/or

to the Moss Street Paint-In.

Last Saturday was

the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria

23rd Annual Moss Street Paint -In. This year 140 artists

were invited by the gallery "to bring their studios to the street".

Each year there are approximately 30,000 in attendance

at this ever popular "crazy fun" art event.

Thank-you to all of my old and new friends

and collectors who stopped by to visit.

And welcome to the world wee, precious Juno

who, at 5 days old, attended her first AGGV Paint-In

and congratulations Janice and Darren!

(I'll post the painting that I was working on there soon...)
