Three Pink Tulips Painting Video

I was commissioned by one of my previous clients to create a painting for a fundraiser auction for Cancer Care Manitoba in honour of Jackie Shymanski.

"The fund was set up by Jackie's former collegues at CNN where she was a war correspondent and by her friends at Cancer Care Manitoba. Ironically at the time of her diagnosis and passing she was the Director of Public Relations at Cancer Care Manitoba. Jackie also took a gardening postion at Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg when she returned from working as a war correspondent. The tulips in the painting honor Jackie's love of flowers."

I was asked to incorporate three pink tulips in the painting to represent her friends, and cancer fundraising.

The Event will be held:
November 15, 2017 at 6:00pm

All is quiet on the beach

All is quiet on the beach now that the hot weather has cooled. The town of Port Stanley is now returned to the locals and it's regular off season state.  I'm sorry to see the summer go, it's been so lovely our first summer living here. I've enjoyed the warm summer night walks to the beach with the dog. This shot is of GT's bar and grill on the beach. We ate dinner her alot this summer,the view is just so awesome!!!!

Oudoor office

Sick of sitting inside in my office while working on the computer. I decided to drag the whole operation outside so that I could contnue working while still enjoying the river with my dog.  It's almost like you're not workng at all, that's the real key to work : )

Sketching out a painting

Sketching out a painting. This is view of the river in front of our condo here in Port Stanley . I've been obsessed with this view since we moved here. I love living by the water and seeing how it changes over the seasons. I made a small sketch and then have redrawn it on my canvas. Stay tuned there is a video in the works of the whole painting being made.

Happy dog day!!!

Happy dog day!!! Walk em if ya got em..and we have em, His name is Patches and we inherited him after Shawn's dad passed away. Shawn's dad doted on him, treating him with the up most love, kindness, patience and pampering that any dog could ever hope to get. We've tried to continue to give him the same amount of love and kindness. Here is Patches fluffed out after a nice long walk. I think it's all the smelling stuff that really tuckers him out. Ah, the leisurely life of our little hound dog.

Solar eclipse at the beach

On my way home from the post office I did a drive by of the beach here in Port Stanley. This is just before the solar eclipse was due to hit. The beach was very busy but nobody seemed concerned about the impending eclipse. I suppose many didn't even know about it. Hopefully everyone had their sunglasses on.

Getting ready to record a video

This is a shot of my art table. It's all rigged up and getting ready to record a video of me making a painting. I've been noticing that video is getting a lot play around the internet and thought it was about time that I should dive in. There's a lot to know when it comes to this whole internet thing so I've been goggling the heck out of making video. I think I've got a handle on it now. Making the painting is the easy part, or at least for me, as it's the part I really know. Stay tuned to see how it all worked.

My art on a Christmas card

Just recently received finished samples of one of my winter paintings on a Christmas card (yippee). This is the first greeting card I've had my art licensed on. For anyone who makes art it's always a thrill when someone contacts you and wants what you made for their product. Each new license seems like a validation of the art I'm creating, a sign that others are enjoying it.
The nice thing about a greeting card is that others can buy it, send it to loved ones and spread the joy.
This card is now available at goodcausegreetings.com  (everyone I dealt with there is completely wonderful, especially Cathy one of the owners).
As a bonus, a portion of sales goes towards charity for homelessness. Check it out with the link below, I'm really excited about it!!!

Birthday presents for me, teehee

Birthday presents and flowers from my fav peeps.
Spent the day with my hubby Shawn, swimming, eating, enjoying wine, relaxing.
And a wonderful day was had by me : )
This was the big 5-0. I had been obsessing over it for a while. I think anytime a milestone age occurs you mentally take stock of who you are, what you think, what your life is like and about, do you like your life, who is around you, what about your life do you want to change or to stay the same.
In the end the birthday number doesn't matter but those other things do. That's the thing about birthdays, they come around once a year. It's probably good at least once a year to evaluate your direction and give up those things that aren't working and have gratitude for those that are.

Red sky at night

Red sky at night, sailors delight. Mother nature really did it up right tonight here in port. When the clouds come in off the lake and the setting sun hits it just right, it's like magic in the sky

Sunny day in Port Stanley

Sunny day in Port Stanley at the harbor, lake Erie. We ate ice cream and walked the town like tourists. So nice living here, like a non-stop vacation. The hardest part is finding the time, but the weather is so beautiful it's hard to stay inside.

Jaws

The view of the harbor from our bedroom window. Somehow feels like bad feng shui to have 'jaws' coming to get us.

Winter at Mackies

Winter at Mackies on the beach, Port Stanley on lake Erie.
Like the song says "Nobody on the beach, feel it in the air, summer's out of reach" .
I took a quick drive past on my way home just to see what happening at the beach..nothing yet. www.CathyHorvath.com
