Strathcona Cup 2013

Welcome to all the curlers, competing for the 2013 Strathcona Cup starting tomorrow.
I just read up on it on their websites, www.strathconacup100.ca/ , what a fun competition.
110 years ago, the Scots travelled to Canada to curl for almost 2 month, from Halifax through Montreal, Quebec, Ottawa, Toronto and Winnipeg.
They had such a great time that they invited the Canadians to play in Scotland. Born was the Strathcona Cup. They meet every 5 years alternately in Canada and Scotland.

A New year 2013

Hello every one,

It is great to slide into the new year and enjoy a bit of cool weather.
Christmas snuck up on us this year with the warm temperatures, or maybe we are just getting older and time goes by quicker.
The first few weeks of the year I will only be at the Halifax Seaport Framers Market on Saturdays, but I look forward to seeing you then.

Things are quieting down some what, but Hal Jones is still working hard.
Here are a couple of his newer paintings we have produced as a limited edition Print

Sunset Regatta, by Hal Jones

Curling - Women, by Hal Jones


Sunset Regatta is a lovely print, making us think of the warmer season, or the trip to southern destinations some of us my take. With the full background it creates a wonderful moody scene.

The Curling - Women was a must. As a companion the the original Curling (Men) from the Canada Games, this one is just as popular and fantastic. Hal has such a way of creating a sense of fun, with the hats and a sense of reality, as all his sports images are true to the sport.

As before, the limited edition prints are issued out of only 99 (only 99 are printed), signed and numbered, 8"x10" image size and  available, matted or framed.

I will try to keep up with all he is doing and let you know.

See you at the market
