Last week, I shared that I entered the Arts On Main Contest
and. . .
I WON
– BEST IN SHOW! –
Arts on Main is a visual arts contest hosted by the South Simcoe Arts Council since 2004. Partnering with local businesses to bring art to the main streets of Tecumseh.
We, the local artists are judged by professionals for a chance to win cash prizes.
The theme this year was
CONNECTION
and
I wrote this about my painting. . .
Lazy Summer Days
“When I think of connection, it’s about finding our place within the world around us. In this painting, I wanted to capture a moment of stillness—a busy chipmunk, who, despite the demands of gathering for winter or caring for young, takes a moment to pause. It’s a reminder that even in the hustle, there’s a need to reconnect with the natural world, to rejuvenate. For me, observing nature in its raw, unfiltered state brings immense peace and fulfillment—a profound connection to the origins we all share.”
Thank You So Much
to the South Simcoe Arts Council, the judges and all the participants
It’s been such an honour!
