This video uses zentangle patterns in the background. There will be a Zentangle Nature Themes workshop with Margaret Bremner at The Reflections of Nature Show on Saturday, Oct 22. This video is not by Margaret but it gives a good idea of what zentangle can be about. 

Pumpkins ..... huge pumpkins ..... white pumpkins

The pumpkins have been gathered up - what isn't carved at the Reflections of Nature Art Show will be sold at the show - you can take it home to carve. 

The pumpkins that are carved there on Saturday (Oct 22) will be sold at the auction on Sunday (Oct 23 starting at 2:00 pm. 

New Sponsor - Listowel Trophies

Listowel Trophies has agreed to sponsor the "live model" sketching and drawing booth space. Instructors from Gail Adams Studio of Arts will be on hand to help artists sketch the live models that are coming from the Zoo Society and Living Sky Wildlife Rehab - and maybe a few other places as well. People not wishing to participate in the sketching are welcome to sit in and listen to what the handlers have to say about their models and answer any questions.

There is no charge to the public - but donations to the models are appreciated. 

This promises to be a very popular event - don't miss it.

Saturday - October 22 at Prairieland Park - Hall C starting at 9:30 am

Framing Photographs for Reflections of Nature Show

It was decided at the Sept 13 (2016) meeting that photographs do NOT need to be framed and under glass to be entered into the Reflections of Nature Show.

They should have a matt and they must be properly mounted on to a backing. Velcro will be used to hang them on the boards. 

We still accept framed pieces - the photographs are better protected when behind glass.
