MEADOWLARK FESTIVAL PENTICTON:After
a
busy spring painting in Mexico, and journeying up Vancouver Island and
through the Inside passage to Prince Rupert and Stewart. She worked on
acrylics and watercolours and painted with Stewart artists for a few
days. Angie led a plein-aire paint out May 17th, 2008 at the Meadowlark
Festival organized by
OSCA in the South Okanagan. 
She was delighted that ecoligist,
writer, and philosopher Don Gayton agreed to explain the habitat,
biology and ecology of the region to the group of ten artists who went
to paint at the only remaining natural section of the
Okanagan River in BC. The group was interested in hearing about
the
projects to restore the sockeye salmon to Skaha Lake and to return some
of the river to a more natural state. Here is an acrylic painting
of the location that they painted at with the Meadowlark group.
This is the only natural stretch left in the Okanagan River as
tragically the river was channelized and dyked in the 1950's.
Look at some of the paintings
of this region. Artists wishing to help protect the fragile
Okanagan habitat are asked to join
Angie for a paintout during next year's Meadowlark Festival. For more
information contact Angie.
CLASSES IN
PENTICTON:Angie will be teaching 10 elementary home learner
students the art of drawing and painting each week in June and she'll

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 the world are invited to gather together to paint in this
amazing inspiring location and join McIntosh for a painting
retreat. It is wonderful to be in the north in the summer and early fall to
paint. If you wish to
participate contact McIntosh
. Remember the wonderful old days when Group of Seven artists
inspired
each other on painting trips to the Georgian Bay? 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--it is Angie's place of art and
creativity.
