Opus Outdoor Painting Challenge
My first time painting en plein air. We had five hours to create a painting in the Granville Island area (my neighbourhood). Creating outdoors is a much more sensual and immediate experience than working in the studio. I enjoyed it even more than I thought I would. It might just have to become a part of my regular art practice…

Artists have only twenty minutes to create their best painting, using only acrylic paint and no reference materials. This clip is of my painting during the last minute. So much fun!
Held at Raw Canvas in Vancouver, BC.

Coming June 2012. County Fair meets Science Fair meets Farmer’s Market meets Burning Man for families! A celebration of the amateur and the do-it-yourself mindset. Everyone is a maker. What do you make?
This will be year two for Vancouver Mini Maker Faire. And it’s going to be even bigger this year. I’m the “Public Art Coordinator” for 2012 and that means that there are going to be some interesting art projects installed around the city… stay tuned.

I have a new daily practice. And I’ve been enjoying it immensely. I’ve been taking fatmumslim’s photo-a-day challenge, and posting a new photo, based on a different theme, each day. Follow along on Instagram (NorbergArt) if you have an iphone, or you can simply see my postings on my flickr account. Or better yet, try it yourself!
