Art Show

October 18, 2014
10 am to 4 pm

We have had a great summer drawing around Yellowknife. We have endured record smoke levels and even had to end one drawing evening early because of black bear was in the neighbourhood. The RCMP encouraged us to do so!

Tonight was our last night. It is getting cooler, which you can see! The sun is going down earlier and earlier...fall is in the air.

Marcella and Lynn

Lynn avoiding looking at me! :)

It was a fun evening!

Concentrating! Penny, we will miss you.

I left my drawing kit at a friend's home. So I discovered that I have these cool copic markers that are various values of grey. Fun to work with tonight!

The final night of Drawing YK on Thursdays. We will do it again starting about June 10th next year!

We meet again on September 15th!

Drawing YK on Thursdays

Here we are at the start. The breeze was lovely up there until it completely died down. I guess it does that every evening. I don't live near the water so I had never noticed that. Interesting.

Distractions were plenty up at Pilots Monument! From these very noisy young ravens. They were a hoot to watch. The carrying on and the squawking and commotion were fun.

This young one, you can still see the soft browns in her feathers, sat on this sign just feet away from everyone showing off how beautiful she is! Also the raven was directly in the way of one of the people drawing.

We had planes taking off and boats zooming past. It was hard to stay focused on drawing when there were so many photo opportunities. :)

But we did manage to draw. Here is Joyce and Penny. Joyce's shirt is extremely red looking because of the forest fire smoke in the air (which you can see in the background).

Lynn working away.

Kevin joined in on all the fun!

And drawing is a load of fun.

The last of us. The smoke was very thick and getting thicker.

The results!

We meet at Fred Henne Park (beach parking) on Thursday. Come and Join us. All levels welcomed. If it actually rains on Thursday we will meet at the CO-OP instead!
