Gouache Paint Has Expressive Potential

Similar to a nice matte lipstick

I adore painting with gouache

It is not reserved purely for 

flat fields of illustrative colour

I love to use it in my

abstract expressionism works

It smooths onto the paper

like soft butter

and blends well

I like the ease of painting with 

opaque watercolour

It is modern and clean

Works on paper

are really on the uprise

in Collector's minds

The framing options and looks 

are endless too.

Canadian Mental Health Association Mental Health Week

The Canadian Mental Health Association’s Annual Mental Health Week is May 7-13, 2018

Every May for the last 66 years, Canadians in communities, schools, workplaces and the House of Commons have rallied around CMHA Mental Health Week. When we “get loud” on social media and with the people we love, we help dispel stigma and promote better understanding of mental health.

Mental health is about more than mental illness. One in five Canadians live with mental health problems, mental illness or addiction. But the reality is, five in five of us have mental health, just like we all have physical health. We can all benefit from celebrating, promoting and acknowledging the role that good mental health plays in living a full and meaningful life.

Let’s #getloud about what mental health really is

Mental health is about more than being happy all the time. It’s about feeling good about who you are, having balance in your life, and managing life’s highs and lows. Everyone deserves to feel well, whatever their mental health experience. And we all need a support system to lean on.
