Today is the first day of the Kawartha Arts Festival, held in Fenelon Falls, Ontario at the Fenelon Fair Grounds.
The Festival Organizer, Maud Skoog, wanted me to exhibit a few of my nudes and this year I decided to finally bring in and display a couple of my sketches of nudes that I did while in the Life drawing classes at the Kawartha Artists' Gallery and Studio.
During the course of the day a number of people remarked on the sketches and were pleased to see something exhibited other than the usual landscapes, floral and abstracts.
With this kind of response, next year I will probably bring in either a couple more sketches, or some of my paintings in watercolour, or my drawings in either pastel or conte.
The hours for the show are:
9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. today and
10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. tomorrow.
The exhibit is well worth the drive out to Fenelon Falls; and I hope to see some of you at the show either today or tomorrow.
This is not a pornographic blog; the sketches, drawings and paintings contained within this blog have been created with the sole intention of portraying the nude body as art. If you're not of legal age or this material is offensive to you, please leave. If you wish to follow my progress as I learn to draw and paint the nude human figure then please stay and see how things develop.
