I’m excited to be participating in the Brush Off to help support the London Children’s Museum!
16 artists will test their skills through a painting competition. Guests cast votes determining who is crowned the night’s champion. http://www.londonchildrensmuseum.ca/support/brush

1 night. 16 artists. 4 rounds of competition. 43 original works. 1 CHAMPION.
The Brush Off is a unique fundraising event featuring a live painting competition, great food and live and silent auctions. Sixteen artists will test their skills through 4 rounds of painting competition. Guests vote to determine who makes it through each round and is ultimately the night’s champion. Original works of art will be created at The Brush Off and guests have an opportunity to take a painting home by placing a winning bid, all while supporting the Children’s Museum.
Right now, 1 in every 5 children in London is living in poverty. The schools these children attend are unable to provide experiences to enrich the education and lives of their students because of cost and access barriers. With your support of The Brush Off, the Children’s Museum will be able to offer a subsidy to help with field trip costs including bus transportation to and from the Children’s Museum and pizza lunch, often a luxury for the children.

Since my artist friend Paula Mould keeps asking me to post photos of my process, here it is…These are 4 plywood panels 8″ x 10″ x 1″ each. I’ve used green painters tape to block off certain areas and started with some dark acrylic paint.

I cut out some bird shapes using coloured paper, then used a fineÂ
archival ink marker, Pigma Micron 01 to draw some designs.

The birds and other cut out paper shapes are glued to the panels using an acrylic gel medium.
Â
More paint is added.
More layers of paint are added, letting coats dry in between.
Some words are painted on…bloom, shine, dream and blossom.
Finished details.
