Off The Beaten Path was a Success

Wow...Thank you to the almost 90 people who made the trip in to my Art Show and Sale! Given the mile long gravel road and two ass-kickin' hills, itt was a huge ask to draw a crowd back here but it was a great success. I am so thankful to my friends and supporters and also to my family for all their help. And, I do know that the 'off-grid' feature along with a herd of majestic Highland Cattle helped entice you in, not to mention it happened to fall on the loveliest November Weekend ever but you came....and I am grateful.

I'm working hard on a collage series. It's exciting creating this body of work and the feedback I'm getting so far is extremely encouraging. One of the first collage pieces I "put out there" to test the waters was sold very quickly (Thanks to Art Sales and Rental!) I'm so pleased to say that "Sunday Lunch" is somewhere in New York City! I have two new collage pieces presently available at ASARS. So back to work!

Off The Beaten Path

Every one is welcome to an Open House- Off The Beaten Path-Paintings by Andrea Redmond held on Nov.13th and 14th.

I’m having a weekend show and sale of my work as an acrylic and mixed media artist with over 100 paintings on display. My home/studio in Glen Margaret will be open 12-6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 13th and 11-4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 14th.

For the past five years, my husband, Shawn, and I have lived off-grid using wind and solar energy, on a small hobby farm that Shawn continues to artfully carve out of our woodland acres. The change in our lifestyle has granted me more time to paint and has helped develop my sense of creativity and awareness. My sky is larger here and so now is my sense of space, depth and openness.

Be prepared for a true mile dirt road. If you prefer not to drive all the way in we’ll provide shuttle service from a designated parking area on Shadar Drive. We’re at Wind Serf Farm and Studio Gallery, 29 Shadar Drive, Glen Margaret. Call for more info (902) 222-3078 or e-mail me at reddythree@aol.com

A busy spring of Art Shows

It's proving to be a very busy spring 2010...

March 28-April 25th I'm in a joint show with fellow artist, Carol Ann McNeil...Our show is called "Nature's Wonders"and it's being held at the Trellis Cafe in Hubbards, N.S. The Opening reception is Sunday March 28th, 3-5 p.m. Every one is welcome.

On April 1st, I'll be in a group show held at the Moorings Gallery in Mahone Bay for the month

and May 2nd-June 4th I'm having a solo show, "T'il The Cows Come Home" a cheeky take on cows and a reminder to support our local farms. It began as a desire to paint black cows using very little black paint and it grew into a series of portraits, pastures and more. Show is at the Black Duck Gallery, 8 Pelham St., Lunenburg, N.S. OPENING RECEPTION is Sunday May 2nd, 2-4 p.m. Every one welcome....

And still more to come (I've been productive over the winter)

Today I Googled Myself

The length of time since my last post confirms my lack of technical aptitudes and also my attention span. It's easier to paint. I think. Though the lack of ideas can cause a great blockage, I do try to paint or do something related to my art every day.

Today I got a phone call from a gentleman in Vermont. I was excited when he told me he owned two of my paintings. That is until I asked him which ones he owned and I discovered I wasn't the artist. But the man found me through google (or its equivalent)..so I googled and found myself frequently and that was a boost to my ego....so here I am, after a scramble to find my password. I guess I shoud add a few new pics!

take care

Andrea

Presently, I have 21 pieces showing at the Economy Shoe Shop on Argyle. They're there til the end of March. Several works are available at Art Sales and Rental on Hollis Street. Jo Beale Gallery has added four more of my paintings for sale. I'm excited with the series of boats I've been working on.
