Small painting with big impact! Gayle demos a watercolour 2”x3” in less than
5 minutes. Challenge her with your topic, or choose from her favourites list.
This demonstration takes about 5 minutes per painting, so about 10 in an hour.
You decide how many. $30 per demo hour, plus gas allowance if not at her studio.
An optional painting workshop is available: 2.5-3 hours, participants bring a
photo of a favourite land- or cityscape, perhaps a travel memory, and paint it
first in watercolour, then again (or a second photo) in acrylic, both in a 4”x6” size.

Ekphrastic Poetry with Art
​
Do you know the art of Ekphrastic Poetry? Let your imagination soar while creating an Ekphrastic poem with the whimsical visual artist and poet, Helma Rogge Rehders.
Ekphrasis means “description” in Greek. An Ekphrastic poem is a vivid description of a scene or, more commonly, a work of art. The process involves the imaginative act of narrating and reflecting on the "action" of a painting, sculpture, or photograph. The poet may amplify and expand its meaning. Rhyme, free verse, anything goes! Come in and join us for what always proves to be an entertaining experience! Samples of Helma’s paintings will be available to add an artful dimension during this poetic experience.
