1st entry for Sept. 11, 2011



On the Sunday, I was a bit weary, but determined to investigate an idea for an upcoming show, where members of the Five Lovely Guys group each undertook to do some work on 1' x 2' panels of plywood.
The upper study is a 20-minute warm-up study of M-  (not the best likeness, though) on an 18 x 24" sheet of cartridge paper.
The lower one is a 1.5 hour study on sanded and gessoed plywood. Both are done with Koh-I-Noor compressed charcoal.
The panel is now hanging at The Blue Moon pub on Queen St E, just past Broadview, as part of the Five Lovely Guys "Twice in a Blue Moon" exhibit.
There will be a party there on Saturday, Sept 24 from 7 pm onwards. Sadly, I will only be there for the first hour, but through the night there will be performances by 5LG affiliates- Anne-Marie Hood and Anupa Khemadasa; Michelle Rumball; and Murray McKay will be performing with his Klezmer band.
All this joy and will only cost you $5 at the door, so come say hi, hoist a beer and enjoy great music and lovely company.
