SWAA at Hues Art Supply
Paul Trottier treated us to an introductory tour of his new art supply store on March 25:
Hues Art Supply Ltd.
1818 Lorne Avenue, Saskatoon - the corner of Taylor and Lorne
Paul opened his store in January 2014, and is still determining the needs of artists in this area. Drop in to let him know what your art specialty is - if he doesn't already stock what you require he will be happy to order it in. The store is open during the day from Tuesday - Saturday. Closed Sunday & Monday.
Check him out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/huesartsupply
Paul is a member of the Saskatoon group "Men Who Paint" and I (Beth) was able to purchase a copy of the book: "Men Who Paint - halfway to heaven". This is a book of their works from Ivvanik National Park in the Yukon. Paul signed it for me and I look forward to attending some of their shows to have the other artists sign it as well.

SWAA At Saskatoon Collectors' Show
We had a great time at the Saskatoon Collectors' Show this past weekend. Flat work artists Jewel Buhay, Linda Skibinsky and Beth Campbell were there to show off their work. Harvey Rebalkin wasn't able to attned, but he sent a few of his pieces. Willard Dyck, Leroy Royer, Harvey Welch and Bob Drury brought some of their carvings. Harvey, Bob and Leroy did some demo'ing to show people techniques involved in carving. Wayne Keating had some super photos to display. It was fun getting together; we generated a lot of interest in the association; and - we made some sales. Doesn't get any better than that!
