July 24, 2015. Western Head, N.S. The Art Show.

The show was the first for Karen.  She is a fabric artist and a good one. but she has never held a show showing her work.  I had been urging her to display her pieces of art not the least being that I could purchase one of her works.   Her work would be on the walls of her own home but there was no place I could purchase one of her unusual pieces of art.  Finally she had her first solo show, held in the lower level of her own home.  The show will run for two weeks but this afternoon from 4 to 7,  friends were invited to preview her works prior to being open to the public.    At her suggestion, I went early to avoid meeting up with many people, so Doreen and I went at 3:15.  I was able to be the first person to purchase the art.  Not fair I know but I was pleased to have the opportunity.

Karen has the artistic gene.  Her brother Roger is a well know water color artist here.  We have several of his pieces.  But Karen has turned to fabric to be creative.  I can not imagine why one would select fabric to make a piece of art.  It is so difficult.   But the final results are worth all the efforts.  Now I must find space on the walls in our house at Western Head.  One of the pieces I purchased is a favorite of Karen's so she needs to be able to come and see it every so often.  The picture is of a house in Newfoundland, with a curtain blowing out the window.  Doreen loves it.  Now it will reside with us.  Karen and Ron have been given visiting rights.  I was very excited to see her beautiful pieces on the walls at the show.  And Karen was pleased too.  Now I wish her every success.
