Setting up the 25th Annual Shades of Summer Art Show

It is another very hot and humid day which will not make it pleasant while hanging the paintings and setting up the art displays on the tables at St. Matthews Church in Buckhorn today.

As usual last night we set up the grids and tables for the show and a number of the artists hung their artwork and set up their table displays as well as they were unable to be at the Church to hang their artwork.

The rest of us were happy that the fans in the Church worked well helping to keep the air circulating and with both doors open we had a slight breeze as well.


At noon we stopped and took a break and had lunch next door at the Cody Inn before returning to complete our displays.

By late afternoon we once everything was hung we swept the floors made sure everything was clean and tidy with nothing out of place.

We were ready for the opening of our show tomorrow morning.

The members who will be sitting the show arrive early as Community Care is holding a yard sale in the parking lot and we often have visitors come to view the art show.


Our theme for the front panels is "The beauty of flowers".















We look forward to seeing some of you at the art show during the next nine days.

The hours for our show are:
15 Aug 15 - 10:00am - 4:00pm
16 Aug 15 - 12:30pm - 4:00pm

Pat Harvey McCourt

After retiring from a 35 year career, we moved to the Buckhorn area from London, Ontario.

I am a "newbie" to the wonderful world of watercolour, with no previous painting experience. One of our neighbours suggested a group of us get together and try our hand at watercolour painting. Becky Bilcox has been a patient and inspiring artist, as well as a great friend who continues to help me develop my technique. Madelaine Alter continues to encourage me to develop my own style.

I have since joined the Buckhorn, Lakefield, and Kawartha Artists Groups. My first three day watercolour workshop at Six Foot Bay in the spring of 2012 was a learning experience taught by Doug Mays, followed by another three day workshop in the fall of 2012 with Art Cunanan. Both workshops were interesting and a lot of fun. I have now met a huge circle of painters in the area who are all willing to share their expertise, so needless to say, I am proud to be able to sign and frame some of my work.

I have yet to discover what my favourite subject is to paint, however, I have come to appreciate the beautiful and bold colours we have surrounding us every single day. It's amazing how we take colour for granted - I can't believe I am studying the sky every day with its ever changing shapes, forms and colour! The good news is I am having fun learning and experimenting with colour, style, shapes, perspective, images etc. - the list goes on and on. Painting provides a good, positive, and sometimes productive new career.
