Alice's Art Gallery

                          On November 2nd family and friends have attended the Reception at Neilson Park Creative.  It was a good opportunity to chat and view my latest work. Their support is greatly appreciated.

   The installation of my exhibit was completed  by noon of October 20th. I had received many compliments from the fellow artists that have seen the show during the first week. I want to thank Cathy Frank, gallery manager, for her support during the process of putting this exhibit together. My gratitude to my husband for framing my paper work and participating in the installation of the twenty one paintings together my friend Mira Martinez, member of the gallery committee. To my daughters, thanks for being my cheer leaders. Gabriela, the promotion information and photos for my blog look great!. Thank you.                 Cathy Frank, Jose Berloni and Mira Martinez  

           

An enthusiastic group of Lions and friends gathered, once again, to raise funds for different community projects. I have donated one of my paintings to be raffled among the guests. Fall is in the Air is a 16" x 20" acrylic on paper.The recipient of the first prize was Gloria Garces. I was very happy because Gloria loved it. I am sure she will find the perfect place in her home for my painting.      

On September 12th, the exhibiting artists had an opportunity to chat and answer questions about their work. I am posting a few pictures with visitors that responded to my invitation and joined me for the event. I thank guests and the general public for attending. My special gratitude to Deputy Consul of Argentina, Mr. Luis Luna and his wife Celeste for taking time from their busy schedules to share the evening with me. The show closes this coming Sunday. Stop by if you are in downtown this weekend. The Art Square Gallery is located at 334 Dundas St. West, just across from the Art Gallery of Ontario. I am very happy because two of my paintings have now a new home!          

It was a very good reception!  The artists from Art Forum Gala did a great job at preparing for the event. With the attendance of guests, family and photographers from local papers the night became extra special for all the artists. I will be attending the Meet the Artist Evening on September 12th from 7:30PM to 9:00 PM If you have time I would like to see you there.

I am very busy painting, in preparation for my upcoming Solo Show at Neilson Park Creative Centre.

Here is the one I presented  at this show.          

My painting The Windmills of My Mind, Series I have been accepted into this juried show. Over 160 painting were presented, fifty of them were selected by the jurors to be in the exhibit. With great joy I learned that my work was selected once again. This is the fourth time that one of my paintings makes it into an IMPACT Art Exhibit. The jurors for the show were Doreen Renner and Margaret Glew. The show runs from July14th until August 7

 I participated in the Black and White Show at NPCC with At Your Window Tonight. The exhibit run from June 23 until july 11 . Although my preference are the bright colours, I have enjoyed painting with a very limited pallete this 16" x 20" collage on canvas. I decided to further explore with black and white in a series of acrylic on paper that will be part of my upcoming show in November
