Painting, our fourth event from this summer's series Art in the Garden, is coming on Tuesday, July 26.

Please join local artists in the Museum Heritage Garden as they create original works and explore different mediums, drawing inspiration from the luscious garden landscape. Bring a picnic and your creative spirit. All events are on Tuesday afternoons from noon to 3 p.m.

On July 26, welcome Kathleen Pemberton.

I am an artist on Cortes Island.
I am a maker. I make things. Meeting the creative urge.
I dabble in many different disciplines of art.
Painting is one of my favourites.
I love paint and colour, and often paint.
Scenes mostly of what I see.
Painting by observation / hand / eye coordination / drawing with the brush.
I try to be quick just trying to catch a glimpse.
I hope you enjoy my work when you see it.
And maybe recognize the local views.

See you at the Cortes Museum.

-- Kathleen
