An Announcement.

An Announcement.

I am pleased to announce my first major art exhibition. The exhibition, entitled A Ton of Bricks, will focus on the portraits of prominent Edmontonians. These portraits aim to capture their subjects in an unrepeatable moment in time. Upon completion of the show the portraits will be given to their subjects free of charge.

"I want to paint portraits because portraits hold immediate personal value to the painting's subject," Blake Betteridge.



The show will open May 16th, 2009 and will run for six weeks at The Artery (9535 - Jasper Avenue).

Go Oilers!

Come check out my booth. I'll be selling limited posters of some of my paintings (cheap) and a number of other original paintings (for cheap, relatively). It is also a good opportunity to stop by and ask my how my film, 2008: Year 'n a Day is progressing.
