Pontiac Artist Studio Tour 2012

Well the 2012 Tour is over and I enjoyed myself immensely.  All the visitors, the kind comments and the help and support from family, other tour members and friends (you know who you are Shannon  - thanks so much).  It's always a rush and last minute details that gets you going.  As another artist friend of mine has said you know you are alive when you're that busy getting ready for a Studio Tour.

I remembered to snap a few photos in the midst of all the comings and goings.

Thanks Karen Mulcaster for buying the first piece on the Tour 2012.  We are now Facebook friends and I smiled when I read on her wall "Bought my very first piece of authentic art from Cheryl Dolan in Quyon! It will get the most prominent spot in my living room, when I pick it up next weekend."

 I was pleasantly surprised when Jacqueline came back to purchase Country Girl 3  on her way home after visiting in the morning. 

 Some visitors admiring the art.

 Mryran Lafrance knew exactly what she wanted to see when she stepped out of her truck in front of my house.  "I have come to see the cows"  and she did.  And now one of my Country Girls has a new home in Hull.




Thanks to all the visitors for your support, kinds words and admiration of my art.  I love to create art but it makes it even more worthwhile when someone else enjoys it also.

Pontiac Artists’ Studio Tour 2012
June 9, 10 and16, 17
10am – 6pm
Celebrating our 23rd year!

The Pontiac Artists’ Studio Tour is going green!

You can find an easily downloadable map at our web site www.ArtPontiac.com/StudioTour/ where you can also learn about this year’s 15 participating artists.

The Pontiac, an undiscovered jewel, is less than an hour’s drive from Ottawa. It is a rural area of farms, lakes and woodlands. Allow it to inspire you as it has the artists of the tour! Visit our studios and share an exciting and diverse visual art and fine craft experience.

West of Gatineau on highway 148, along the north shore of the Ottawa River in Quebec, the route will take you beyond the Gatineau Park, through rolling hills and west to historic Campbell’s Bay, into picturesque Isle-du-Grand-Calumet  and Portage-du-Fort. Don't miss our two new members off the highway in the small village of Quyon, a short distance from the Quyon Ferry.

The self-guided tour is clearly marked with the Studio Tour’s signature blue and magenta brushstroke signs.

Brochures with maps are available at stores along Highway 148 between Gatineau and Fort-Coulonge and also at the artists’ studios. A complete list of locations is available with GPS coordinates on our web site.
