Setting up the 22nd Annual Shades of Summer Art Show
It was interesting setting up the panels in St. Matthew's Church tonight for the 22st Annual Shades of Summer Art Show.
We had a violent thunderstorm last night that caused a tree to be uprooted and knocked down a hydro pole, which caused a nine hour black out for the entire area from Selwyn to Buckhorn approximately 4 square miles (10.4 square km ).
The storm just didn't want to leave and it poured down rain the entire time we had to bring the panels inside the building. Needless to say most of use were soaking wet by the time we were ready to set up the panels in the dark.
Fortunately some of us had flashlights in our vehicles and we measured out the where the panels needed to be set up with the aid of three flashlights.
It was after 10:00pm when we finally finished and had all the panels and tables set up.
Most of us decided against bringing in the paintings inside in the pouring rain and trying to hang them by flashlight. That would just be an accident waiting to happen and we would still have to return today to finish.
Today most of us spent the day hanging the art show at Buckhorn. We worked together to get everything hung on the panels and set up on the tables.
We broke for lunch and went next door to the Cody Inn for a much needed rest from hanging the show.
After lunch things went up fairly quickly so by late afternoon we are finally ready for our opening tomorrow morning.
The hours for our show are:
11 Aug 12- 10:00am - 5:00pm

Susan Sydney
Susan Sydney was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. She always wanted to live in the country and in 1978 she and her husband, Ron purchased a farm in Smith Township. After major renovations to both the house and the barns they moved there in 1979.
She is primarily a self-taught artist but Susan firmly believes that an artist can never stop learning and has taken classes and workshops in a variety of painting media with various accomplished Canadian, American and European artists.
She has always been interested in drawing and painting. Susan creates realistic paintings which reflect her desire to combine her love of animals, children and nature with her talent.
While her favourite medium is transparent watercolour; she also uses pencil (graphite and Prisma), charcoal, pen and ink, conte, pastel and acrylic paints to help her attain the effect she requires.
Susan has been teaching watercolour and drawing classes for a number of years and is proud that many of her students have continued to develop their art talents and are becoming recognized in their own right.
Exhibitions:
Susan's paintings have been shown in over 350 Solo and Group Shows, in private and public galleries and she has participated in numerous Juried Exhibitions in Canada.
Memberships:
• 1988-1997 and 2004-present – Buckhorn Artists’ Group
• 2007-present – Kawartha Artists’ Gallery and Studio
(three years as an active member of the Executive)
(one year as Group Leader for the Still life Class)
• 2008-present – Outdoor Painters’ Group
• 2010 and 2012-present – The Lindsay Art Gallery
• 2011-present - Lakefield Creative Arts Guild

Represented by:
• Self
Susan’s art work has appeared on the covers of Horse Sense and Horse Talk magazines and the Ontario Pinto Horse News. She was a featured author in Horse Talk magazine for her 'How to Draw Horses" column from 1994-2004. Her black and white illustrations have appeared in The Pinto Horse and in a number of Ontario newspapers. She designed the logo for the Ontario Pinto Horse Association and the pin representing the Canadian Limousin Association in Limoges, France for the 100th Anniversary of Limousin breeding.
Artist's Statement:
"I am inspired by the beauty that surrounds me; which so often goes unnoticed or is taken for granted. I see paintings everywhere I look, whether it is walking through the fields, out on the lake, driving through the countryside or diving in the depths of the ocean. I would like the viewer to experience the sensations and feelings that made the subject of my paintings appealing to me."
