Always a pleasure showing my work in the beautiful lobby at Inn at Laurel Point, 680 Montreal Street.  I will be there for the month of March and will pop in from time to time taking in the view and the lovely garden.  www.annebowen.ca for a peek at some of the other new work.

As many of you know, most of the proceeds of my painting sales goes to an international animal rescue and foster group that  I have been working with for over 3 years now.  Winter is the hardest time of the year for shelters and rescue  groups and for this reason I am offering a discount of 20% on all paintings for the next few weeks to raise funds for food and adoption costs.  Treat yourself to a new art piece for 2025 and Happy New Year to you all. www.annebowen.ca

All the shows for the year are now over and I am looking forward to some serious painting time.  I thought I would share my latest artwork and new pricing structure with you as I am making room for next year's projects.  Have a wonderful Christmas and all the best for the new year.

I am thrilled to be hanging my show and sale "Flora and Fauna: Nature's Inspiration" at the Splash Gallery at 505 Park Place in the new Esquimalt Town Square.  The show runs from November 5th until December 3rd. It is a beautiful space, lovely coffee shop and restaurant adjoining the gallery.  I plan to be on site painting between 11:00 and 3:00 pm every Saturday in November and will have my monotypes and cards for sale.  Come and have a coffee and watch the paint dry, you may even find a Christmas gift or two. Paintings can be viewed at www.annebowen.ca.

I am very happy to be invited to show my work at the gorgeous Coast Hotel on Kingston Street.  Enjoy the paintings in the lobby and restaurant area.  You may even be tempted to a meal at the famous Blue Crab restaurant.  The show runs all of August and September.

I really enjoy getting together with neighbors and friends for the Scattered Artist Tour.  This year the tour will be on May 25 and 26, 11 - 4pm.  Judi (fabulous jewellry) and Richard (gorgeous Chinese watercolor) will be joining me on the driveway at 3735 Ascot Drive.  I will be show casing my paintings, with my newly created mono types as well as my woven wearable art.  Lots of parking a few yards down the road at the King's Pond parking lot. Sneak peak at www.annebowen.ca.  There will be a gift basket draw as well as a fund raiser for a local animal rescue. 

I am delighted to be invited to show my work in the gorgeous lobby of the Parkside Hotel (810 Humboldt Street) for the month of March.  Come and watch the stunning koi fish float by in their lovely pond and view the koi paintings and other new  works in the lobby.  Spring is not far off and my thoughts have turned to flowers, birds and warmer weather.

For the month of November I will be showcasing some of my newer work in the upstairs gallery of the Delta Point Marriott Hotel, accessed from the main lobby. 

Also for the months of November and December I will be offering a 20% discount on all landscapes.  Give the gift of art for Christmas and special occasions.

Keep well everyone and many many thanks for all the love and support over the years, you cannot know how much you are appreciated.
