The Countryside Art Group was well represented in the Small Treasures Art Show at the Kawartha Artists' Gallery and Studio with a total of nine paintings entered into this fund raiser for prizes for the Best of High School Art Show held at KAGS in May.
Fifty seven tickets were sold for the order of selection of each of the seventy seven original 8" x 10" paintings and the draw began at 2:00pm.
Mrs. Vera Penrose of Peterborough, Ontario had the first ticket drawn and she chose A Winter Sunset by Susan Sydney.
First Snow by Susan Sydney was selected by Mrs. Joanne Fernall of Norwood, Ontario. For Mr. John Mathers of Toronto, Ontario his choice was Autumn Reflections I by Susan Sydney.
Mrs. Merridy Watt of Ennismore, Ontario selected for her first of two draw tickets Sunflowers by Diane Collins.
Mrs. Elaine Goselin selected Cottage Sunrise by Diane Collins.
Mrs. Merridy Watt of Ennismore, Ontario selected Furnace Falls for her second of two draw tickets
Norman MacEachern's painting Lighthouse was chosen by Mr. Henry Chu of Prince George, British Columbia.
And lastly, Mrs. Elaine Goselin of Peterborough, Ontario selected Hibiscus by Cindy Allan.
The show had a party atmosphere and everyone who attended the closing ceremonies of the draw for order of paintings selected had an enjoyable time even if their first choice of painting had already been selected.
The fund raiser was a success with over $1,700.00 being raised for prize money for the Best of High School Art Show.
We would like to thank all the people who selected our paintings to add to their art collections.
With Mothers' Day coming up next month they would make an ideal gift and for those who do their Christmas shopping early an original painting would be a wonderful present.
