Revelstoke Exhibtion "HIDDEN WORKS" and the workshop about Art as a Healer

 Opening night before the crowd
 HIDDEN WORKS Exhibition felt pretty incredible and appeared to have healing powers not only for me.

 Under glass is the history of the Wyers Family and the Perry family this connects the story of healing.



Beginning of my piece of the workshop, showing my process with 000 and 004 brushes.
 Many of the artists brought bigger brushes which they said they would use when they were bored of the little brushes, this never happened and they all enjoyed a new process in painting.
 Each piece was so different and each artist used their own photographs to come to their conclusion.
 Perfect number 7 professional artists, in the end they decided painting this way meant they did not have to worry about the total canvas but only a section at a time, to be competed at a later date with how they felt.

So far with this "Leaf and Frost" Print I have 12 Colors think it needs about e or 4 more.
Will be nice to see this screen print finished.  It's been a lot of fun but will never premix my inks before I print. I change my feelings far too often and next day the paints and I have a battle and I win and need to change the colors again.
