FlorABUNDANCE 

by Lucille Weber 

Williams Mill Visual Arts Centre Gallery 

May 4th to May 29th, 2011

The snow is melting, 

birds are singing

 and 

Lucille's creative sap is flowing.  

The sunny days and warm breezes have her reaching for the spring palette.... 

Vibrant colours and expressive lines

 are being put down

 on the canvasses, boards and paper...

Being an avid gardener ...

she is itching to get her hands dirty in the soil,

 but 

for the meantime 

she'll mix up the paint

 and 

spread it on the canvas to create a floral impression.






The artist will have a reception on Mother's Day, Sunday May 8th from 1-4 pm.
Bring your Mom for a visit to the Williams Mill and enjoy a cup of tea with Lucille in the Gallery.
