In The Open Air

September 12, 2020 to October 31, 2020

In The Open Air is the title of an upcoming exhibition hosted by Leighton Art Centre to honour the practice of painting outdoors or en plein air. As an avid plein air painter, I am delighted to see several of my paintings included in the exhibition. Among them, I painted Foothills Ranch Country, looking southwest alongside Highway 22, a few miles north of Lundbreck Falls.

Leighton Art Centre, which is located just southwest of Calgary, has several special events planned for the weekend of September 12 & 13 to celebrate their launch of In the Open Air and Alberta Culture Days. Check out the Leighton Art Centre website.

Open Water & Deanna Beaujot

Deanna Beaujot’s,“Spring Graduates”, pictured here was awarded the Royal Talens Rembrant Award at the New England Watercolor Society’s 2018 Juried North American Open Show. The brilliance of her powerfully saturated colour first captured my attention in 2016 when we attended an art development class in Calgary. I am very pleased to congratulate Deanna on her acceptance this year as an elected member of Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour. Not surprisingly, Deanna Beaujot also gained accredited last year as an Associate Signature Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists. Visit her website at https://deannabeaujot.com/

Normally held in Toronto, this year’s CSPWC “Open Water” exhibition will be held in Alberta at Leighton Centre, near Calgary. The Opening Reception is next Saturday from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. The exhibition continues until October 27, 2019. For the Leighton Centre address or any additional information go to: https://leightoncentre.org
