Wilmer painting classes
Bill Doroshuk
the 7th
Annual Wilmer Painting Week.
It will take place from Monday September 10 to Friday September 14
and, as usual, will be based at the Delphine Lodge in Wilmer. Artists are
encouraged to paint out of doors (plein aire) and in whatever medium they
choose (oils, acrylics, watercolours, charcoal, pen and ink....). Our
instructor/mentor this year will be Val
McPhee, who taught us very successfully at the 2nd Painting
Week in 2007. Participants will be encouraged to paint the local scenery
in and around Wilmer, and there will be one day when we will paint near Kinsmen
Beach in Invermere, so that we can lunch at Pynelogs and examine the art show
there. Costs are the same as before: $250.00 for the full week, or $50.00/day.
If participants wish, they can paint for half days at $25.00/day.
We will meet at the Delphine Lodge at 9.00 am each day, enjoy coffee/tea and
cookies, listen to a half hour presentation, then go out and paint.
Participants should bring their own lunch. In the afternoons, we usually
break around 4.00 pm and gather in the Delphine Lodge garden to discuss the
day's work. On Friday evening Sept 14, we will have a wind-up barbeque and
exhibition to which friends and spouses are invited. I shall be out of
town until August 12, at which time I will circulate more details. Early
enrollment is recommended, so please send me E mails and I will attempt to
respond.

I went to this a few years ago and had a great time. Val is
an accomplished landscape artist and a thorough and gentle teacher, perfect for
newbies. If you can’t go for a week, go for a day. Sebastian is very
accommodating.

Columbia Basin Culture tour approaches
The Headwaters Art Society is holding an art show and sale
in conjunction with the Columbia Basin Trust Culture Tour August 11 and 12 from
10am to 5 pm in the Canal Flats Community Centre. Tables are available to rent
for $20/day (or $15/day if you become a member). There will be refreshments
available, you are inside and there are washrooms. We aren’t allowed to hang
work on the walls but there is room to set up easels behind your table.
People can rent a table for one or both days. We expect you
to be present for the hours we are open. Tables will be selected by the luck of
the draw. We expect your prices to remain current while you are selling with us
(no dickering please).
We are trying hard to establish our presence in the valley
and would welcome your participation in our event.
We still have about a half dozen tables available! give me a shout.
