The weekend reminded us how much we enjoy sharing our art and talking about art with those who appreciate it just as much as we do. By the end of the show, our feet were tired, but our hearts were full.

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 ~ Gail Prpick
When I think of bridging and art, different things come to me. First, my dream is to bridge community to art. I do this by running an approachable gallery with a diverse art collection. Also, I have been playing host to many people to paint nights in the gallery. This awakens their inner artists andContinue reading “Bridging ~ Gail Prpick”
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”

I spent some thinking about what might be in my toolkit that I rely on the most. Brushes, paints, panels? Then it occurred to me that what I use the most, and is the basis for creating any work are my eyes. When I began to learn about painting and drawing, I realized I neededContinue reading “Artist’s Toolkit ~ Lorraine Khachatourians”
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”
Spotlight on ~ Lorraine Khachatourians
What inspires me to paint is usually something nearby, whose shape or colour interests me. Highlighting those bottles or shells or flowers with focussed light brings out the elements of those items that intrigue me. As a result, I collect things – old bottles, old silver, shells, glass floats, leaves, seeds, everyday things – andContinue reading “Spotlight on ~ Lorraine Khachatourians”
