The annual Made in Dundas festival at the Dundas Museum and Archives has tons of activities for kids. Everything from a petting zoo to crafts, puppet show, face painting, fire truck and much more. It was very hot and very busy with parents chasing their children from activity to activity. Deb Carson and I were right in the thick of it merrily painting away. The idea was that we would promote our exhibition inside however all the adults were too busy with the activities to chat with us for more than a moment or two.
This second painting was an experiment. I had this painting of Moon Bay that I kind of liked but the sky was too blotchy and the water wasn't quite right. Catherine Gibbon suggested that the water could be darker so I decided to glaze over the water to darken it and the sky to smooth it out and lighten it a little. I am now really happy with this painting. I am going back to play with more of my disasters to see if I can work some more magic..
