Art in the Park photos
It was a wonderful day at Tannery Park in Richmond Hill.
Five of the studio tour artists...Ona Kingdon, Victor Molev, Ben Lee, Olena Lopatina and Yvette Daou-Yacoub were at the park during its official opening. It was a wonderful opportunity for the artists to meet and talk to members of the public and for the public to watch each of the artists at work.
Ona was painting a miniature watercolour. People were fascinated to see her work with such small brushes.
Members of the public chatting to Victor about his work
and to Olena too.
Ben Lee was working on a watercolour on canvas of the park itself
and Yvette had beautiful jewellery for sale.
It was a wonderful way to let people know about the Studio Tour.
