October 15 and 16 was refreshingly spent admiring the picturesque grounds of Camp Samac in Oshawa, Ontario.
The 39th annual art show was successfully hosted by the Oshawa Art Association.
I must declare that it was certainly great fun, though at times there was standing room only.
Fifty plus artists including myself, displayed works of art throughout a rustic council hall, and welcomed an eager throng of art enthusiasts as they perused the aisles.
What a marvel it was to behold such a diverse collective of gifted artists, showcasing works from paintings on live wood to unique soapstone sculptures.
Cheers to a most exhilarating and educational event!

City of Oshawa Councillor, Rick Kerr was gracious enough to support myself and fellow artists at the Camp Samac Art Festival.
I found him to be quite personable, articulate and genuiely invested in the local art community.
