In my second year as a member of this group I am still feeling my way around. It’s great to be involved with a group of people with similar interests. I’ve always been an outdoor painter and am finding my passion still lies there. Living in Saskatchewan creates a dilemma I haven’t been able toContinue reading “Fall Spotlight on ~ Jean Dudley”

I love line, colour, texture and shine in my paintings.  I look for subject matter that lends itself to these things.  I start with the line, add the texture, then the shine and finish with colour.  I will have both new and older work at our Open Studio Show and Sale on  Monday, November 27th.
