The month at NACC was really fun. I had an Opening on April 7th.

Then every other night I was there painting. Well at least beginning a painting with the focus all on birds.

and I got to talk to a few of them! :)

So I painted Ptarmigans, an Eagle, a Raven (finished image below) and Snow Buntings!

I had quite a few people take time to explore my paintings

And after all the shows I had a spectator do the draw for the basket and Beth Collinson (one of my students) won the basketful of goodies. :)
It was a busy month and it was great to see everyone and to chat. Now I am finally back to painting. I started a commission yesterday and also will be finishing the rest of the birds. I got the raven done before we went on holidays.

"Heedful", 6x6 in, Acrylic, SOLD
Thanks so much for dropping by! See you again soon(ish). Have a great week.

Shawna Lampi-Legaree

Yellowknife watercolour and acrylic artist Shawna Lampi-Legaree’s latest venture can best be summarized as capturing moments of beauty from the world around her.

Her exploration of ephemeral flowers in watercolour has been a glorious journey of seeking out and capturing the delicate and luminous quality of the blossom. Simply put, she has been “painting summer sunshine all winter long”. Her technique includes multi-layer washes which build to a crescendo on the paintings that capture the drama of sunlight and the depth of shadows.

More recently, Shawna’s acrylic painting has expanded to include the wealth of the feathered friends that all northerners love. She has enjoyed the wonderful winter antics of trickster ravens, playful ptarmigan and mischievous LBT’s (little brown things). As the spring migration begins Shawna hopes to begin capturing the beauty of our transient flyers. Watch for some interesting images capture flight, reflection in water and the simply beauty of our northern landscape
