15th Annual Strathcona Art Walk Biggest Yet!
Frank Haddock participated in the 15th Annual Art Walk on July 17th and 18th. He was located at McIntyre Park (on 104 street and 83 Avenue) and was joined by other fine artists such as Susanne Lamoureux, Gail Seemann, Peter Moore, Melanie Croucher and many others. Frank showed new watercolours and a few oil paintings as well. The Art Walk got off to a disappointing start as it rained most of the friday that should have been our first day (July 16th). Yet the Saturday and Sunday were perfect!
This is Frank’s original watercolour of ‘PC’, the ARTRA Art School Mascot.
One of Frank’s pictures
is included in an international art magazine!
Did you know ‘The Spanish Dancers In Red’ was included in the June 2009 issue of Watercolour Artist magazine. It was presented along with several other watercolour artists. This watercolour painting was completed last year. Currently prints of this image are available just email frank at frank@frankhaddock.com

Creaturesall Features
Frank’s New Watercolour On The Cover!
Over the last few months Frank Haddock has been busy painting a new set of watercolours. Several of these watercolours feature Sarah, a cat that he adopted from the Hervey Foundation For Cats (‘click’ the name to visit their site). Sarah is growing up fast and now she has to earn her living by posing for cat paintings. The painting on the cover of Creaturesall is her first portrait and it is titled, ‘Miss June’. She will no doubt be featured on Frank’s next calendar that will be available later this year. Several new paintings of Miss June will be shown at Frank’s web site soon. Don’t miss them!

New Beginnings
and New Ideas!
For many people this time of year is an opportunity to cast off old ways and adopt new behaviours. Some people call them new years resolutions. Most often a person makes a resolution to improve themselves in one way or another. Improving ones self is always a good idea but I think it would be a great idea to follow that by helping the plight of others. One silent group of individuals that have no voice are our fellow earthlings.
