I feel very honoured to be invited to participate in this, second, special Art Battle event at the War Museum.
I hope to make my wonderful AND faithful supporters proud!
To that end, I have been putting a lot of thought into my choice of theme and genre.
I have seen "Outside The Lines" twice, and have been as impressed, as I was moved.
The theme of war is, sadly; as constant and relevant now, as it was to the generations of artists before us.
It is impossible, in twenty minutes; to create a work even close to being as worthy as those I have seen in the exhibit, but I will strive to create something of substance.
To honour these talented and progressive Canadian women, who unflinchingly recored the loss, and devastation, wrought by the conflicts of their own times.

For Charlene, drawing led to painting. She continues to learn with online or live model sessions with an occasional plein air excursion in the summer. The emotional energy of the human figure drives Charlene forward to learn how to convey with tools such as color.

Thanking you for your support and upholding the vision of the artistic community
