It was an enriching experience to participate for the second time in the Pelham Art Festival. The curated collections of the jurors were all posted in the online festival, and two of my pieces were selected for the architecture collection: https://pelhamartfestival.com/curated-architecture-2023

Lately I have been bringing paintings to shows while the paint was still wet, so I have 3 new ones. I helped hang and take down the BFAA “Home” exhibit, but you still have chances to see the work. It will remain displayed on the BFAA website for a few more days. Check it out here...

It’s a time for new endeavours at the start of 2023. In the next couple weeks I will take part in two more shows, both of which will have opening receptions. One of them is another group show with the Portage Arts Group, this time at McMaster Divinity College, Hamilton. It is called “Learning to See Again,”...

I get that this must be a busy time of year for you, so I’ll spare you the trips to my two current exhibitions. Last month I went to McMaster Innovation Park for the opening gala of their massive group exhibition. On the second floor are my two views of the escarpment, conveying both ruggedness and frailty with palette...

“A Place to Land” is an apt title for my exhibition with the Portage Arts Group, a collective of talented artists of faith who are focused on the therapeutic side of art-making. We are all the product of many diverse living environments both physical and relational. Our imagination and creative processes in turn inhabit...

I have been taking painting classes for the last two months, so I will share with you soon what I am working on. Besides the alumni show at Redeemer, I also had the privilege to exhibit and talk about my art in front of 120 people at a seniors’ luncheon at my church. Burlington mayor Marianne Meed Ward...

This month I installed some of my work and that of fellow Redeemer alumni in a group show called enCompass. It was a privilege to see and carefully handle these pieces. I am happy that two of my oil paintings were selected: Prehistoric Columns in Southern France and Florentine Renaissance...

I wanted to wish you a Happy Canada Day in a new update, but day and night I was busy preparing, packing and exhibiting my work. It was a new experience for me to be at an outdoor art fair, where I worked on my painting of Venice and learned a lot of practical tips from other artists about outdoor shows.

The art sale season continues for me, this time outdoors. I am working on a new acrylic painting of Venice to add to the upcoming display.
Come and see a variety of artists showcasing painting, fibre arts, jewellery, sculptures, photography, pottery, glass, wood and more.

The Pelham Art Festival I took part in was a big hit, and I am grateful for people like you who were able to come meet me and my mom there. I sold the original and prints of “Climbing a Rock Face,” which had won 2nd place in a teen juried show back in 2014. That same drawing is now curated among the best portraits

Happy spring! Now is the time for me to share with you more of the illustration work I have been doing for over a year. The newest page on my website is ready, so enjoy looking through my recent projects! Visit georgesbrightart.com/illustrations, or click one of the images below.

No one can stop time from passing by, but as an artist I am able to capture a moment in an enduring physical form. And in this latest exhibition by fine artists at the Art Gallery of Burlington, we explore various aspects of time (present, past, seasons, changes over time, and how time is measured) through our choices of subject

It has been over two weeks since Braeside Camp's Drive-Thru Nativity & Christmas Market. I have since completed an online oil painting course (and unpacked decorations), but I wanted to show you the presentation of my pieces on the two days of the sale. Here is how I arranged them for the first evening.

Every year the Art Gallery of Burlington houses a sale of a wide selection of handmade crafts and art. This year the Arts Burlington Christmas Sale (now renamed to refer to the gallery's address) is online again for you to browse. My framed paintings and drawings can be found on the website, along with the work of over 50 members of these six guilds:

A lot has happened since I last wrote to you, so I would like to show you some samples of my creative journey from the last few months. As you may know I have taken Illustration courses, and my professors introduced me to an assortment of materials in the process. Here is one of my abstract ink environments.
