Beach Volleyball in Halifax

We have been very busy with Hal's up coming Art Show, 
"A WHITE MAN'S JOURNEY TROUGH NATIVE LAND",
at the Chase Art Gallery in the N.S. Archives Building, starting September 7th 7-9 and continuing to the 30th. I'll post more later about that.

Today I am focusing on the "Swatch Junior Word Championship" of Beach Volleyball here in Halifax.
What a great event, and the weather may also be very nice.

The Waterfront has been converted into a fantastic stage for the games with tons and tons of sand. It starts tomorrow and to celebrate the event Hal Jones has managed to outdo him self. Two wonderful images are going to be available to the public as Limited edition Prints.

Beach Volleyball - Women

 

Beach Volleyball - Men

Both Images are Limited edition Prints, matted overall size 11"x14", Image size 8"x10".
They are available through me,
Silvia Sterkman / Silvia's Publishing at 902-475-3527, sivias_publishing@yahoo.ca or at the Halifax Seaport Farmers Market at my display on Saturday and Sunday.
The cost is still only $34.95 for the matted print or $69.95 for the framed up print.
The prints are all signed and Numbered and come with a certificate of authenticity.
have a great day and I look forward to seeing you at the Market.

Japanese Ship in the Halifax Harbor

What a sight!
On Wednesday Morning, I was just minding my own business, when I heard this great boom. Not once, not twice, but on and on.
Of course I went to look out my window, and there were three navy ships, a fire boat spewing water and smoke.
Well, the smoke did not come from a fire, but it was, what I later learned the cannon shots form the first of the three Japanese ships, saluting Halifax. At 8am!!
What a treat and here are the pictures I took.

As you can see, we are still in a gray on gray color scheme here in Halifax, fog, rain, fog. I guess we better embrace it, as we can't change it.
But remember to support the Buskers this week end. They have been putting on a show through out this and it is their livelihood.
See you at the Halifax Seaport Farmers Market Saturday and Sunday

The Buskers are here

Yes, this is the week of the buskers in Halifax.
The Halifax International Busker Festival is celebrating it's 25th anniversary this year and they put together a great show.
The weather has not been the most accommodating, but the acts are worth while, to contend with a bit of moisture.
To commemorate this event, Hal Jones has produced a series of  paintings. They are so much fun and whimsical and to the point.
Here are some of the images we reproduced into Limited edition prints and/or Cards. Matted up to 11"x14" they are $34.95, a great price for a Limited edition out of 99 (meaning only 99 prints were printed)
