Be Art Aware!

There's no excuse as we've got plenty of it around Lacombe and Red Deer areas.

Here are some updates on the art scene in our area:

Lacombe

Have you seen how the wall murals are coming along in the downtown? Well go check out the amazing work of artist/muralist Tim Giles. You now have a viable excuse to hang around in the backalleys! The poem below is dedicated to this artist.

Portrait of the Artist as Creator

By blue jean

Not always white and stark beginnings, I like to create my own background in colour.
Sacred, creator, pulling worlds out of my head, my vision comes alive at my hand, I am the god of this wall.
Studied strokes form the criss-cross patterns
and as you stand back
the shape becomes apparent.
I have made hills and trees, prairies lush and green, paddocks and grazing horses, buildings and people,
times beyond my memory.
In my own epoch,
the world is made canvas, and I draw our dreams on it.

Red Deer

New Blog Exclusively for the Lacombe 2007 Municipal Election

I've decided to run a blog just for the election. All future election and campaign info will be posted there. Find it at: www.voteforbeverley.blogspot.com .
See you there!

I want to keep this blog as for my activities in the arts but by now, most of you may have heard that I am running for a Lacombe Town Council seat. I hope you will leave your questions and comments on my blog. To my new visitors: Please comment or email me with your concerns. You can also get detailed information on issues and concerns by visiting my other blog, www.voteforbeverley.blogspot.com. Watch these spaces for updates and please get out and vote on October 15!

I've been busy. Here are some of my latest works.

On the left, "El Gato Negro" and on the right, "Pink Guava Martingo" a set of three.

We Will Remember You

This year I have no words. Just the picture I posted last year.

Peace.

A Quick Note

Just a quick note to let you know that I will be at Lacombe's Active Living Fair this Wednesday, September 12th at the new Lacombe Memorial Centre with my Art & Writing workshop information for this fall. If you want to find out more you'll just have to come out to the fair and see me. Come out and support your local organizations and see what they have to offer for your interests and recreation. Hope to see you there!
