Art show in Toronto is up, new painting arrived safely

At the Elaine Fleck Gallery on Queen St. W. , they've told me the show looks great, so I think I'll ask them to send me some photos and I can post them here.

The new painting "rain boots" made it safely, which was a big relief because the paint was still pretty soft when I shipped it. Also, the person at my local post office didn't seem to know what he was doing, so I was a little anxious that he may not have processed it correctly. And then it would get lost in a warehouse somewhere or something like that. But fortunately that didn't happen.  

cheers,

March Art Show Hi Everyone, The Elaine Fleck Gallery in Toronto will be showing my paintings again for the month of March. The gallery's normal hours are Wednesday to Sunday, 12-5pm, and the opening will be this Saturday from 2-4pm. Unfortunately I'll be unable to make it to the opening this time around, but hopefully I'll be able to see some of you again next time. If you can't make it to the show, I've included the new painting "rain boots" in this email, and you can view the other pieces that will be in the show online. "rain boots" - oil on plywood, 28"x36" - (still on the easel in this photo) the latest painting  that I just shipped to the gallery for the show. So many have told me the paintings look so much better in person than they do online, so hopefully you'll be able to go have a look at them in person. One day I'll upgrade my site, but I should say hopefully I'll find time to upgrade my website because I'm usually too busy trying to finish the actual paintings.  April Charity Auction   I've donated a painting to the Buy Art Not Kids charity auction in Toronto. The live auction take place on April 4th. Check out their site for more info and to see the great art that will be available. Here's my donation piece: "from the blue line"/"the shooter" - oil on plywood - 24"x24" cheers, Marcel

Rain boots umbrella - new painting finished

'Passers by' painting on magazine cover

Here's my painting `Passers by' on the cover of the Canadian Journal of Rural Medicine:

I just received my copies in the mail, and it`s really nice to see it in print. Very cool. They've put some very good and well known artists on their covers in the past, so I'm honoured to have one of my paintings included. Thanks CJRM!

cheers,
Marcel

Paintings to re-appear in Toronto

Hey Everybody, I'd like to announce that I will be having a show in Toronto along with Maggie Broda for the month of march. I'm currently working on a brand new painting for this show. (No pressure on that painting. Ha. ha. ... eep.)

The opening is set for Saturday March 1. 2-4pm. I'm not sure yet if I'll be able to attend, but if you're in Toronto, you'll be able to check out some of my recent paintings. And the new one, if it turns out and I don't burn it first.

You can follow me via @marcel_g on twitter or via marcel-g-art.tumblr.com for more updates, and even better, you can sign up for my mailing list, which I use to occasionally spam people's inboxes with announcements about upcoming shows. 

cheers,
marcel

Scratch them out - new digital painting

1st of a series of digital paintings I'm embarking on. Not sure where this series is going to go or if it'll be worth the effort, but what the hell, I have a day job, so I can indulge in some experimentation now and then.

cheers,
marcel
