One of the highlights of our Holiday gathering is that members create greeting cards for each other and we exchange them after lunch. This year held a special treat. Kathleen Slavin showed her surprising talent in the realm of poetry and created individual limericks about each one of us.

Artists’ Workshop News
Opening today at the QEII Art Gallery at Government House, Regina is the show ‘Bridging’, featuring many of the members of Artists’ Workshop. We envisioned this theme as follows: Bridging is a way to diminish our differences and maximize our connections. Sharing art from the heart helps span life’s gaps – in time, space andContinue reading “Artists’ Workshop News”
Bridging ~ Lorraine McGrath
It took me a while to see where the idea of bridging fit with my art. And then it came to me as I was working on a new painting, of a subject completely new to me. This subject presented itself to me because of new directions my life has been taking over the pastContinue reading “Bridging ~ Lorraine McGrath”
Bridging ~ Sharron Schoenfeld
Bridging – Do you see what I see? Hmmmm, probably not! I see the world in a unique Sharron way. Some see a sky that isn’t blue, and a sun that doesn’t shine as a gray and gloomy scene. I see a mauve, blue-violet and silver sky, backlit trees and buildings edged in bright highlights.Continue reading “Bridging ~ Sharron Schoenfeld”
Bridging ~ Val Miles
One way that I have bridged my art is by studying and using some of the work of Gustav Klimt to inform my own. I had seen some of his original work and found his use of paint and shapes to be very interesting and realized that our work had a lot in common. WeContinue reading “Bridging ~ Val Miles”

When I began to learn about painting and drawing, I realized I neededContinue reading “Artist’s Toolkit ~ Lorraine Khachatourians”
My Favourite Things ~ Paige Mortensen
My favourite things in my artist toolkit are my irons. Watercolour batik is all about the wax, and to be useful the wax needs to be melted. First I have a small encaustic iron that folds down to make a small skillet for melting the wax. I then use sponges, brushes or stamps to putContinue reading “My Favourite Things ~ Paige Mortensen”
Art Toolkit Favourite ~ Molly Clark
What I listen to while I work is as important as any of my painting tools; it sets the tone for the work at hand. I remember how easily a set of landscape paintings came together while listening to Ian Tyson songs about the northern plains. Hearing author Stephen Jenkinson’s musings on heritage makes meContinue reading “Art Toolkit Favourite ~ Molly Clark”
My Favorite Thing ~ Patricia Katz
The Winsor Newton Watercolour Field Kit I love to travel, and I love to sketch. So I always take my watercolour paints and a sketchbook with me when I am on the move. Although I have several different travel palettes, one of my favorites is the Field Kit sold by Winsor Newton. I love howContinue reading “My Favorite Thing ~ Patricia Katz”
