Moss Street Paint-In


Here is the reference photo that I recently
took in Tofino. This is what I will be painting ...

Saturday July 17th is Victoria's annual Moss Street Paint-In, from 11:00 to 4:30pm ! Over 140 artists will be set up all along Moss St, starting at Fort St where the art gallery is, all the way down to Dallas Rd (about 20 blocks). The street will be closed off to cars so everyone can freely walk up and down and see all the artists do their thing - paint, sculpt, or draw. This is a fantastic opportunity to actually meet some of your favourite local artists in person! It typically draws 30,000 to 40,000 people. There will be a food and beverage garden up by the art gallery, and music to enjoy.

I have been accepted into the Paint-In again this year. I am going to have my display tent/table set up at Station #75, which is at the south end of Moss St just before Dallas Road. Look for my banner saying "West Coast Landscapes & Pet Portraits"! I will be doing a painting demonstration and will have art cards and various paintings available. Also, I will have a few posters and books of the Mural Mosaic project I was involved in

Bring your friends and family (and your dog too) out to this fantastic and unique event! It looks like the sun will be shining that day, so wear lots of sunscreen. I am looking forward to seeing you there ...
