October guest artist showcases vibrant acrylic paintings at Victoria Park Gallery

Judy Beddoe (right) enjoys putting the vibrant colours of nature onto canvas, producing some amazing results.

Her acrylic paintings are on display, as the guest artist for the month of October, at the Victoria Park Gallery in downtown Kincardine.

Beddoe was raised on farms, first in Stouffville and then just south of Aurora. Her first school is now in Black Creek Pioneer Village. The rest of her growing up was in King City.

She came to the Bruce-Grey region in the late 1960s and has lived here ever since, except for a four-year stint in Northern Ireland.

A hairdresser all her life, when she retired, she switched from hair-colouring to painting with watercolours.

Then, after taking a course with Peter John Reid of Chatsworth, she switched to painting with acrylics. “It has been great fun since then, painting with Studio XX.”

Victoria Park Gallery is located inside the Kincardine Arts Centre in downtown Kincardine. For more information, check the Facebook page at: www.facebook.com/pg/victoriaparkgallerykincardine/posts/
