Fall Sale 2011

Here is an invitation to my fall sale. Hope you can attend. Please take the time to send a link to the blog and invitation to friends and family.

New raku

Made about 50 new pieces of raku. These are the first finished pieces.

Fall production

First raku projects of the fall production. The new glazes make some interesting colors. Some biggies to come.

Jewelry display at Ayhus Arts

A new display case for jewelry at the gallery. Rustic functionality.

Large acrylic painting

This acrylic on paper. So fun to work large and quickly. I love playing with the idea of making marks and having a suggested image. Scale is so important as is the power of the colour.

Large paintings in acrlic

A number of larger canvas pieces have come from my paint brush this month. It has been absolute glory to paint in large format and realize some of my passions. There are more coming I'll post as I go.

A wide variety of art works

As the season opens the gallery space houses many new works. The enclosed space allows for a broader display of works and this year raku and larger scale paintings are featured. Also prints have an intimate space where they can be viewed and enjoyed. Here are two framed prints in that area "towards the sunset trail" and on the right "cracked rock".

Ayhus Arts Gallery Open for 2011

After a busy schedule of great workshops and construction. The gallery space is open. If you are on Savary come by 1182 Tennyson Road usually open 10-4.

Drawing workshop

After a few hours of exercises the effort at a sustained drawing at the beach was undertaken. In glorious sun some amazing efforts were realized. We are planning a continuation of the idea of drawing by having a afternoon of drop on classes. A place to work with good company and some different materials. Date will be announced and posted. KIT.

Drawing workshop

A good turnout of Savary islanders for spring season workshop. The workshop was on drawing a getting some skills and exercises to practice to improve technique. Both beginners and more practiced artists came out and we had good fun with drawing. Above is a great example of a tonal gesture drawing done in only a few minutes after a warm up session of linear gesture drawing.

Group photo of KLASS

Such a hard working energetic group came to Ayhus arts at Savary working on sketch books, drawings, watercolors, and raku pottery left only enough time to watch the Canucks. The best workshop ever at Savary.

Glaze fire

After about an hour the glaze fire was done and finished projects were displayed. this is so exciting.

KLASS

Personal story portrait project. A self portrait with a written personal story in the background.

Raku KLASS
