Spring fever

Spring is approaching, today was 6 degrees, which after winter days of -20 it feels wonderful. the sun as out today, and after hiking through a marsh and a 7km run through the waterfront, I am updating my website and prepping paintings to go to a gallery in Port Credit! Stay tuned for exciting info!!

Here are some of my favourite new pieces. If I could I would paint all day. I have so much I want to do, and paint and learn. The beauty of art is that you are always learning, and developing, and you see the world differently!

I love spring for the colours, the change in air, being able to run or bike and enjoy the weather, flowers and trees start to burst with life.

Recap this past year

Wow, have I learnt a ton this past year! I feel like I have grown a lot as an artist and I am more passionate then ever. I have a thirst for knowledge and continuously want to improve. That's what draws me to creating artwork, I love it, I'm passionate about it and it challenges me! There is always something to learn.

Last year was my first year doing art shows and reaching out to the art community. It's not easy marketing yourself, doing shows and putting yourself out there. Not when most of us artists would rather be painting and creating. But the feedback has been amazing. Thank you everyone for your support. I'm looking forward to what this year will bring.

I post regularly on my website ashotton.ca
