Please check out the travelling art exhibition put on by the GoGo's for African Grandmothers as part of fundraising for the Stephen Lewis foundation. There are 40 paintings and textile art pieces in this lovely show, I donated the painting below called Grandmother Zimbabwe.

Our show is over and I am off to NYC and Washington DC next week. Again thanks to all the people that attended our show - stayed tuned for new paintings in the months to come.

I posted a number of photo's yesterday and realized that there were a lot of people at the reception I did not get pictures of. So sorry to all of those we didn't capture --- AND here is one that I forgot to post and it is one of my favorites.

Thanks to everyone who came to the party yesterday or who has dropped by the show or send their best wishes. I have posted a number of photo's from the reception on my blog so take a look. www.lindabell.ca/blog

The show continues to April 28th.

We hung the show yesterday and opened today. Here is some photo's of the gallery and of my paintings. There is lots to see in this show.

I have now added my last painting on Canvas to the 4 Women 4 Stories gallery called "Twitter"

I hope you are able to come to the show. We will be there from 11 am to 4 pm for all 11 days. Please see the map below and the websites of my fellow artists; Nancy Dean, Birgit Coath and Gabrielle Greig. Feel free to send this invitation on to others you think might be interested.

I have created a new temporary gallery (4 Women 4 Stories) with the paintings I will have in the show on my website. So check it out at www.lindabell.ca.

Remember the reception is Sunday afternoon April 21st from 1:30 to 4 pm. Come alone or bring your friends and enjoy a glass of wine, some cheese and goodies, meet up with other friends ----- and of course enjoy the art. I am looking forward to seeing you there.

I am in the final stages of getting my paintings ready for our April show which includes the framing and some final touch ups to some of the paintings. When I went to do some minor changes to "Stalking the Wild Ostrich I realized I was not happy with the saturated orange sunset sky. The rules for clothing on safari are no bright clothes and no black or dark blue. So there is a lot of beige, earth tones and pastels which is what the 3 women in the photograph are wearing. It was also early dusk so the actual sky was not that intense orange --- so I harmonized the painting with a more pastel feel and toned down the sky. See what you think.
