Happy  creative  day

If  you’re  one that has Saturday for your own time. Take up  creatine  activities.  It will help you.

The main virtue is the  sense of freedom as the author of your work.  Don’t allow the critics  to stifle your sense of propriety there is always another market.

Good luck.

Art show, Arts council.

Shirley Reynolds , Jean Kieglerl ,and Wendy Eecout are calling themselves Prism as a group for a month-long showing at the Old Court House Gallery. The handle is an anachronism for “painting really inspires something magical” The group has ambitions to be noticed provincially and as members of the Valley Visual Artists, the show  endorsed by the Nicola Valley Arts Council, which is a member of the provincial arts council umbrella.That is a good ambition and they have the background to do it. (one is a retired arts teacher). Their style runs from impressionism to realism and some abstraction.

The show reception is at 4:00 PM today and the gallery is open and maned  with a curator Fridays and Saturdays 10 am to 4 PM
