“Poem II”, 14 x 20.
A sink is a little altar we go to many times a day, inviting a private pause. How extraordinary, given the bulk of human history and experience, to live a life in which water flows out of the wall, like magic.
We can go to the sink thinking about something else, anything else, a thousand times over.
Painting daily, I wash my hands a lot.
If I think of it, I like to take my time, making the sink as little baptism for my wrinkly calloused hands. A blessing, a poem. We turn the tap on; feel the water that has already been a river, a lake, a cloud.
We are present, lucky, alive.
Rosemary Leach Painting Workshop

- 9:30-3pm
- 255 William Street, Almonte, ON

This is a workshop for all levels, designed to encourage you where you are at in your creative journey.
Saturday morning will be structured colour mixing exercises done as a group.
Saturday afternoon, and all day Sunday will be an opportunity for you to focus on one or two paintings. I share everything I have learned thus far in my vocation.
I encourage a quiet and focused atmosphere. The workshop is held in my home and studio with two or three participants in each room.
I believe in a warm approach, with an emphasis on our unique life experience and a tender regard towards our individual voices. I work largely in acrylics, but participants are welcome to work in the medium of their choice.
