6th Annual Art @ the Locks Show

Once again all four members of the Countryside Art Group came out for the 6th Annual Art @ the Locks Art Show sponsored by Lockside Trading Company.
















Diane Collins took her spot on the veranda facing up from Lock 27 toward Clear Lake.
















For most of the day her display was in the shade which was a benefit with the high heat and even higher humidity.
















Cindy Allan had her display on the veranda facing the lock, as well as having a number of her paintings hanging on both sides of the fence which brought in many of the people from the boats going through the lock.
















Cindy spent the weekend working on a large mixed media painting of birch trees. This caused a considerable amount of interest as our visitors stopped to watch her work and ask a variety of questions.















Norma MacEachern and I shared the tent which was placed between Diane and Cindy, on the lawn by the gate leading down to the walkway running along side of Lock 31.
















My paintings were displayed on the long table and short grids on the left side of the tent and with the sun coming around the large watercolour painting on the easel had to be moved to the back of the tent to keep it out of the direct sunlight.
















Some of Norma's paintings were displayed on the short grids at the end of the long table and the remaining paintings were on the small table on the right side of the tent.
















I set up my chair beside the small table and spent the weekend working on a number of smaller paintings.
















It was an enjoyable weekend and we look forward to returning next year.
