Excited to have a piece accepted into this show in the new year! It will be on display in the Federation Gallery on Granville Island in Vancouver BC, as well as in their online exhibit.

This show features acrylic and watercolour/ink paintings by Kelly Leroux and Ron Underhill, members of the Pender Island Art Society and Ptarmigan Arts.
With everything from landscapes and waterscapes to boats, buildings, nature and whimsy, many pieces are small enough to be a lovely gift - for your family, friends or yourself. There are also several larger pieces.

The Gallery is located on the water at beautiful Hope Bay, where you can watch the tide roll in and out (and also stock up on handmade artisanal chocolates and beverages!)

Gallery hours are Tues-Wed 11-2
and
Thurs-Sun 11-3
(Closed Mondays)

My painting "Walking in Sunshine" is in this show, which opens on January 25 2021. You can visit it live at the Federation Gallery on Granville Island, or view it on line.

A show for Sooke Arts Council members that celebrates change and development as we start the New Year!

Two of Charlene's paintings are included in this group exhibit, which is an exploration of the pervading tone or mood of a place, situation or work of art.
View original pieces for show or sale online or visit the spacious and welcoming gallery.
Exhibit hours - Saturday and Sunday, noon to 4 pm

Although this workshop doesn't actually start until February 15th, you can sign up now, and when you do, you'll get EVEN MORE FREE STUFF and an invitation to join the Art2Life Facebook Group which opens on February 10th where you can meet Nicholas and see what's in store for the workshop!

This is a FREE 5 day workshop put on by founder Nicholas Wilton and his team at Art2Life. Whether you’re a complete newbie or an experienced artist, guaranteed you will get a lot out of it—I sure did, and it was a no-brainer to continue on to take the Creative Visionary Program—but even if you just take the free workshop, your art, and you, will improve!

Does “Paved paradise, put up a parking lot” ring a bell for you?
Joni Mitchell’s lyric will be remembered as a call to attention during the second wave of the ongoing environmental movement. I painted “Pave Paradise” 30”x40” in anticipation of my solo exhibition intended to educate and encourage the public to plant native plants.
“Pave Paradise“ has now been juried into the Anthropocene-themed exhibition at QuestArt. Interesting to note is that the Edward Burtynsky Anthropocene exhibition at the AGO gave me the inspiration to mount the multimedia exhibition which of course was consequently cancelled for Covid-19.

“2020 TD Thor Wealth Management Juried Exhibition: Quest for the Environment” exhibition was open to artists across Canada to bring quality artwork to the central Ontario area.

This is a self-guided tour of my “new” artwork—abstract with a message—as I turn the corner from representational watercolour to abstracted mixed Media, a whole nother level of artwork is emerging, and I’ve never felt so FREE!

By appointment only (this is not a public venue), following Covid restrictions, relax and take in a private self-guided tour of this work at the historical Pendray House overlooking Esquimalt Lagoon.

My oil painting, "Oaks Above Duncan" will be on display and available for purchase directly from myself through my web site.

Every Tuesday at 2pm and 7pm I will be hosting an event on the Meetup Group called COURAGEOUS CREATIVITY via Zoom. To see the Meetup Group you need to download the free Meetup app, and if you would like to join one or more sessions you just need to RSVP to the event(s). There are two events: AFTERNOON SESSION--ABSTRACT PAINTING and EVENING SESSION--ABSTRACT PAINTING. Participants are limited to 6 (including me) to allow for discussion, connection and questions.

LET'S HAVE FUN PAINTING ABSTRACT!

Feel free to contact me for more information

This online show features work by artists from the Southern Gulf Islands.

Currently there are no events scheduled at the studio, however I will be there working on new things over the next few months. If you see my sign out in front of the studio, please drop in. You are also more than welcome to email, text or call me to arrange a time to drop in to the studio for a private appointment.

I look forward to seeing you soon!

Two of my paintings were chosen to be in the Rental and Sales Gallery. This one is called 'The Midas Touch', mixed media on rice paper. The other is titled 'Release', oil and cold wax on board, 24" x 24".

I enjoy studying the work of Helen Frankenthaler an American, 1928–2011. She was an abstract expressionism painter.

Her canvases, often suggested elements of landscapes or figuration in the shaping of their forms. Frankenthaler once said, “My pictures are full of climates, abstract climates. They're not nature per se, but a feeling.”
I like this sentiment, too. In my painting, Flowers on a Table, I wanted to paint the colours not the objects. That might be a Colours-cape.

Another show at the Sooke Arts Council Gallery! My one entry this time is a collaborative painting with Linda Kirstein. The Gallery is open Wed through Sun, 11 am to 4 pm. Come see the abstract or abstracted work by members of the SAC, as we enter Spring.

L'exposition se tiendra au Petit Boréart pour une période à déterminer en 2021.

The Coast Collective has been without a physical home due to Covid for many months now, but has been active at various popup markets and the like. This show will bring together the many Collective artists for a revival of the show that was due to be hung in 2020 just as they got shut down. It will hang at the new Esquimault Community Arts Hub and is a wonderful way for both organizations to showcase the arts. Open 10am to 5pm Wednesdays to Saturdays.

The CliffSide 6 is back with a new show! We will be featuring collaborative works with two or more people working on each piece of art. The core six will be working with each other, of course, but we will also be collaborating with other artists that we know. More details closer to the show. The SAC Gallery is open Wed through Sun, 11 to 4. Shown is a collaborative work I did with Catherine Mottashed.

The CliffSide 6 will be taking their Collaborations show on the road, with a second stop at the new Esquimault Community Arts Hub. Featuring works from both our previous shows in Metchosin and Sooke, as well as new works, the core theme is collaboration with each other, and with artist friends from the community. ECAH is open Wed through Sat 10 am to 6 pm.

In July 2021 my art will be featured in a wall calendar, produced by Suzanne Heron at Blue Heron Arts. Look for them at retail outlets throughout Victoria!
