Adam F. Davidson's Open House

 It is always revealing to see from whence a person comes. Visiting abstract painter, Adam F. Davidson in his 16th floor apartment cum studio with paint splattered on the walls and floor showed his exuberant talent to good effect.

The other resident, a black cat, very much an artist's familiar, may not have appreciated having her space invaded by a variety of people, one who brought a dog, but those who came to see 70-some paintings and drawings were enchanted.

Fabulous Shine Your Soul ART PARTY Last Evening

People shone their souls and more at last evening's Shine Your Soul Art Party. Hundreds came to enjoy musical entertainment, slam-poetry, theatre and dance.

Jacqui du Toit gives a glowing smile.

Interesting new black and white art upstairs.

People at parties always like the kitchen best!

Line-up for the upstairs washroom.

More black and white art.

No kidding! No drinking in front of the gallery!

Looks like a Tic Toc Tom but not sure.

Arts Park

I am very proud to share that the Hintonburg Arts Committee selected one of my paintings for the Arts Park Poster this year. It means a lot to me that those in my community wished to use my art to promote Arts Park. 

This event is really a great Family Event.  Hope to see you there... May 26th. Saturday. 2012. 

thank you 
Love

I worked on this painting for two months.  It is a painting of the house across the street from my studio. I have a large window in my studio. And this is the view across the street.  I loved the red house. There is a blue door. And I added yellow to the pavement.... so that Red, Yellow, and Blue... would all compliment each other. 


The large tree on the left.  Well I struggled with this.  I did not know how to approach this element of the painting.  I sat in my chair. After more time than I care to admit. Finally I painted the tree in about 10 - 15 minutes.  It just worked.
