MEADOWLARK
FESTIVAL PENTICTON 2010 : What an  exciting
event! Art shows, nature events, paintouts! It was a busy
and fun time! Angie's events kicked off
with a nature walk on Friday morning at the Vaseux Lake Nature
Sanctuary lead by naturalist Anthea Bryan. After learning about
local Rabbitbus h,
endangered Antelopebrush, and local Sage and hearing some lovely Canyon
Wrens and looking at some old pictographs the gro up
went and painted in watercolours at the south end of Vaseux Lake.
On Friday night was the exciting Meadowlark Art show opening  featuring
Angie and Murray Roed's work. On Saturday morning, A ngie
and Murray Roed
led a plein-air
paint
out for artists, photographers and musicians, one
of the many wonderful workshops at the Meadowlark
Festival organized by
OSCA in the South  Okanagan
and held annually on the May long weekend. Saturday was the fun
banquet featuring music by talented musicians and wonderful healthy food
purveyors and organizers of Localmotive.ca
led by Thomas and Celina Thumbach. A lucky resident from
summerland won the Meadowlark painting which Angie  created
and was used for all of the festival graphics in 2010. On Sunday
morning the McIntosh family was delighted to join Dr. Murray
Roed, PHD, Angie's co-artist and and workshop leader, as he lead a
lovely group of folks on an interesting geological tour of the
Okanagan. Fortunately the tired group was able to find a
big GREEN (ecologically friendly) COMFY COUCH to relax on as they
learned about the exhau sting
details of ancient glacial Lake Oliver. However there was almost an
ecolgical emergency near the end when ancient fossilized T.Rex
attempted to eat Dr Rob McIntosh (Angie's husband) for lunch.
Luckily the group saved the day and the OSCA board narrowly averted
tradgedy as Rob was safely returned home at the end of another
wonderful Meadowlark
Festival.

ART RETREAT OF
THE NORTH
Artist Angie McIntosh has created a
simple rustic painting studio in an
old house in Stewart
BC
which is near some of the most scenic
painting locations
of Western Canada and Alaska, in the
beautiful Pacific Northwest. In the summer
of 2008 artists from
all around gathered together to paint in this
amazing inspiring location and join McIntosh for a painting
retreat. Read about the first Bear
Festival in 2007. Coming soon will be a post of our painting there in
2009. It is wonderful to be in the north
in the summer and early fall to
paint. If you wish to
participate next year contact
McIntosh
. Remember the wonderful old days when Group
of Seven artists
inspired
each other on painting trips to the Canadian countreyside? Angie
was
also inspired
by walking through Renoir's home in southern France. The comraderie and
inspiration felt and created by the artists who met at Renoir's home
must have been amazing. Seeing the art works left in the rooms by
his
artist friends who would visit and paint moved her and so she is trying
to create a similar environment right here in northern BC. Click here to
learn about joining McIntosh as an artist in residence at her art retreat in Stewart, BC, in
northern Canada, minutes from Alaska.
Please note that the Art Retreat of the North is not
available for commercial rental or as a B&B--it is Angie's place of
art and
creativity. If you wish to work there or join other artists there
you must contact Angie first. Email or phone in Canada 250
809-7932.
