I did a LANDSCAPE PAINTING from one of my videos: "Robson Ravine Park, Surrey" @ Surrey Art Gallery

"Robson Ravine Park, Surrey"
Landscape Painting, Oil and Acrylic on Canvas, 42" x 48"
Won 2nd Prize, Category 1 (Painting on Canvas) at
Arts 2019 Juried Art Show
Surrey Art Gallery
June 29, 2019 - August 31, 2019

I made a video last year of Robson Ravine Park, close to where I live in Surrey. It's a beautiful park and a wonderful nature getaway right in the middle of a growing suburban neighourhood. I've become very fond of that video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_pRlq7bQPQ&t=318s . I always thought that some of the shots would make a nice painting. So I decided I would make a painting from it and enter it in Arts 2019, the annual Surrey Art Gallery juried competition. I picked my favourite shot and got to work on the painting with three weeks left before the deadline.

It was such a rush job, I only had a couple of hours to paint after work on weeknights and extra time on weekends, but I was able to beat the deadline and enter the competition. Luckily, my piece got in and ended up winning 2nd Prize in Category 1 which is Painting On Canvas. My sister's entry, her oil painting "Fernand at the Beach" also got accepted into the show. And my 8-year old nephew Fernand's Polaroid photography project "My World in an Instant" was accepted as well! We were all thrilled to be in the show together this year, and I feature our works here in this video.

It was a great show with lots of wonderful original art pieces. I wish I could show them all to you in this video, but I didn't obtain permission from the different artists to feature their works. So I stayed a respectful distance from the works while filming" and can only show them briefly and partially here and there.
