Northern Showcase

Last year I wrote about my experience with the ACACA. It's worth a read. http://trishacres.weebly.com/1/post/2011/06/honoured.html I enjoy belonging to a club that promotes the arts in rural communities. This weekend was the last day of the 2012 Northern Zone Show held in Grande Prairie. I dragged my family along for the 4 1/2 hour drive north west to check out this happening town. 


The drive was pretty, thick trees covering rolling hills, speckled with old run-down barns. I love to take in the view on long drives.

Atmospheric perspective is my favorite..... and I love trying to memorize the teal blues for future use in my paintings... as we drive. Isn't it pretty :)

The Northern Showcase this year was lovely. I met some brilliant artists whose work stood out to me immediately when I entered the room. They were well deserving of the awards received.
This is the guest book with  many gracious comments about the show.

My friend Maria took this picture (I begged her actually) with my phone. 

The painting above titled Chance Encounter won both Best in the Master Category, and People's Choice Award. It will move on to Red Deer where it will show in the Alberta Wide Showcase. 


I want to thank the artists that I met this weekend for their encouraging comments, and kind words. 

It is such an honour to receive the Peoples Choice Award. It makes painting even more rewarding, knowing that my work touches the hearts of my viewers. 

When I painted Chance Encounter I worked with the cutest little girl, what a privielege that she would allow me to share her sweetness with my community, and this province  :)
