Difficult to name a show with such variety. One photographer Lorne Turner, an accomplished photographer from Richmond BC. One artist from the DTES area of Vancouver BCm Ken Foster known as a street artist. Dennis Walsh (aka SNL149) a line artist from Tsawwassen BC and myself Rod Winning a relative newbie watercolour and acrylic artist from Ladner BC.

The show hangs Aug 25 and runs to Sept 1, 2014 at GALLERY 1710 The South Delta Artist Guilds beautiful fine art gallery at 1710 56ths Street Tsawwassen BC. A reception will be held Aug 26 630 - 9pm but the coffee will be on throughout the show.

This show will be a little different with a wide selection of art and pics as well as a few sculptures by SNL149.

We produced a poster which has been plastered everywhere and a handout personal invitation card which seem to be well received by all. If nothing else, those who got a card will probably keep it whether they show up or not.

We've been announced in the Delta Optimist Newspaper on Aug 22 and in the South Delta Leader online an have interest from many areas to visit with us.

Did we do enough to get people to come out? Always hard to tell. I find it's hardest to get friends to come as I think they have some feeling of obligation to buy their friends paintings. It's easier to just not show up for any reason than to come our and not buy. I try to let them know that I always appreciate praise and or criticism and never expect people to buy my art. When it does happen, I am thrilled and excited but I generally paint for myself and just love it that my family and friends like my art.

The show is just that, a place to show off my work in one place, sharing with other like minded artists. Sales are welcome but visitors and art lovers are more welcomed. I'll try and get some of my newer work onto my web page www.rodwinning.com This website is done by th Artsites people Rochelle and Geof who have really helped me.

SeeYou at the show.
