Painting BIG

Painting BIG –  In June I was fortunate enough to assist fellow artist, Rose Cowles, with a large three story mural. The mural is intended to welcome the Olympic Basket Ball teams arriving at the Delta Hotel for the Tokyo Olympic qualifying tournament. Having never painted a mural before I got to see how things are set up for painting BIG. It was a welcome change from the solitude of studio life and fun / interesting to interact with people passing by as the mural progressed. Luckily the weather was clear and warm and our wall was in the shade. It was physical work climbing up and down the scaffolding and the next day I really felt like I had done a full body workout. A new fitness class is born – ‘mural-a-size’.  I would like to say a big thank you to Rose for including me in the project. Swing by the Delta and check it out.

Virtual Art Guide – I am happy to be included in the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria’s TD Artists Guide for the annual Moss Street Paint-in that will be happening (virtually) in Victoria this month. Click here to view the guide.
