Happy to say that 3 of my paintings have found a new home this week.
A couple of art purchasers are happy with their new creative acquisitions and I am happy that my paintings have found a new home. This was a nice way to end my art year.
See you next year with more paintings!

This was my first time at the Royal York Road Winter Market and after this enjoyable and successful event, I hope to be back again next year.
This was my fifth market of the season and my last. I’m looking forward to a break before getting back into my studio to paint.
See you in 2025!

This was an eventful weekend at the Art Guild of Scarborough Fall Show. I’m very happy to say that Free Falling in Warden Woods was recognized among the top three favorites by the juror for this show. Winning an award at the Art Guild of Scarborough Fall Show is an honour that I will cherish and for me, adds value to my artistic journey. I feel grateful.
Rainy Day Tranquility has found a new home. Its soothing palette and serene imagery resonated with an art lover, highlighting the emotions evoked by rainy days. This painting sold at the recent Art Guild of Scarborough Art show.
SOLD!
Thanks to everyone for dropping into the St. Barnabas Christmas Market, my first holiday market of 2024. It is nice to meet the people who like my art. I’m happy to be able to provide some of my art images in a variety of printed products making it affordable for everyone. It was a fun show for me as a vendor and from what I could see, the customers were enjoying themselves too.
My next market is on this weekend Saturday November 9th at the Bloor West Village Arts & Crafts Show & Sale. All the info for that and other upcoming markets and shows is on my events page right here on my website.
Looking forward to seeing you again!
Riverdale St. Barnabas Art Show & Sale. Sept 2024.
I enjoyed meeting you all. Thanks to all those who purchased a one of a kind piece of art. A unique purchase to last a lifetime.
Art can be a solitary endeavour so it’s nice to meet my fellow artists and art aficionados at the live shows.
For the next whlie I have a chance to step back for a bit and get back to the studio. I’m looking forward to the fall colours and creating a few new pieces.
See you again soon at my booth at an upcoming Christmas show.
Enjoy the fall colours!
This past weekend was my first time at this outdoor show and I Loved IT!
Thanks so much to everyone who dropped by my booth to purchase my art and to say hello! It’s nice to meet my fellow art afficionados in person during live shows.
This festival had a really nice vibe to it. A nice mix of genres, entertainment and food. Lots of local flavours added a fun weekend. And as a bonus! The rain held off during the shows. High five to the powers that be for that one!
Maybe I will see you soon at this weekend’s upcoming Riverdale/St. Barnabas ARt Show. Or maybe at one of the upcoming Christmas Markets.
See you soon!
This has been a face-paced summer.
After participating in a few art shows this season, I’ve taken some time off to simply enjoy the beautiful summer weather with friends and family.
Thanks to everyone who has dropped into my shows this spring and summer.
As the cooler weather returns, I’m looking forward to getting back into my studio and painting again as well as seeing you all at this autumn’s many upcoming art shows.
See you soon!

At my vendor table at the Royal York United Church Spring Market. For those looking to buy printed reproductions of my work, these type of markets are the best opportunity to do so.
Lots of painting going on here at my studio. Creating lots of landscapes and streetscapes, all with a GTA theme for upcoming spring and summer shows.
Check back for regular paintings and show updates. See you again soon!
Spadina car in progress.
Just finished my first painting of 2024.
“Lower Don Trail Footbridge” was started a few weeks ago…way back in 2023. My how time flies.
It’s been awhile since I’ve completed a new painting. Very happy to have this piece finished. It reflects one of the many great trails here in Toronto and one of my regular walking trails close to home.
See you soon with another painting.
Happy New Year!
Thanks for dropping by to the early Christmas Markets this year.
St. Barnabas is quickly becoming a regular seasonal spot for me. I love this well organized show and it looks like you might like it too as we had lots of foot traffic coming through the doors. With local artisans and prize draws on November 4th, I had lots of fun meeting the shopping public and fellow vendors.
This was my first year at the Bloor West Village Holiday Market and it won’t be my last. Another well organized show and lots of people coming through the doors this past Saturday November 11th. This was a chance for me to spend time in the west end of Toronto for a change. It was great meeting all the local people and vendors.
Thanks to everyone who dropped by my booth during the shows. Hope to see you again soon.
Cheers!
I’ve been busy getting lots of new paintings along ready to show along with older favourites for this weekend’s Riverdale Art Show. This year we coincide with Greektown’s Taste of the Danforth Festival. So much to see and do - lots of great food to eat, entertainment and of course art to view and purchase.
See you there!
At my booth #126 at Guild Alive with Culture Arts Festival 2023!
My favourite festival was a fun time as always. Lots of people came down to Guild Park for the arts, crafts, music, food and fun.
Thanks to all who stopped by my booth this past weekend. I enjoyed meeting you all. Thanks to all my neighbouring vendors. You all make the show a lot of fun.
For anyone who dropped by and have queries about my matted prints, you can always contact me via email at ramonarickenart@gmail.com or send me a message through my website.
These shows have kept me quite busy this summer and there is one more show to go. The Riverdale Art Show on the Danforth is coming up in August. Join me and my fellow artists at this show featuring all original pieces of art.
Let’s all enjoy the rest of the summer….Cheers!
It’s been a busy summer and it’s not over yet.
This past Saturday’s light rain did not stop the Art in the Garden Show. Located behind the Lynde House Museum in Whitby, I enjoyed meeting all the arts and crafts aficionados and vendors. Beautiful venue for an art show!
The Aurora Skylight Gallery features my own solo show for the month of July. I feel honoured to have my work on display in this beautiful space. The show continues until July 28th!

The Whitchurch-Stouffville Art in the Park in June was a fun gathering with lots of artists and art curious on the grounds of Memorial Park.

And the Riverdale Art Walk in early June was a blast! The first time participating in this show and it I will definitely attend in future.

Thanks to everyone who has come out to the shows! Art is often a solitary pursuit. It’s the shows and meeting the art aficionados that make the art so much fun.
Cheers!

Hope you all have a safe and happy long weekend! Happy Birthday to Canada and Happy Independence Day to our southern neighbours!
Well that was a lot of fun!
Thanks to everyone who dropped my booth during this past Saturday’s Whitchurch-Stouffville Art in the Park. Whether out with family, friends or on their own, it was nice to see familiar faces and to meet lots of new people at this annual public event.
Free musical entertainment added to the experience and of course the weather gods were in our favour. No rain! As always, it was nice to get to know some of the other artists in attendance.
I hope you all had fun too. See you again at another show…
Cheers!
Here with my friends and fellow art aficionados, Bonnie, Chris and Charlie!
Thanks to everyone who dropped by my booth #J5 at the Riverdale ArtWalk here in Toronto. This was a great show for me. Lots of foot and paw traffic came through our booths. I met lots of art aficionados and fellow artists, I made several sales, and overall I just simply had a good time.
The weather gods were smiling on us this weekend. Right after we set up our tent in the sweltering heat on Friday, we experienced a downpour which was followed by cooler air moving in. This created the perfect sunny weekend and moderate temps for an outdoor show!
Special thanks to my husband Peter for helping me with all the setup and take down of my booth and all the little things you do for me everyday. SWAK.
Summary - I plan on being back to the Riverdale ArtWalk again next year.
Until then, see you at another show soon.
Cheers!
So glad we are done with lockdowns! I do believe its having the chance to finally get my art out to the viewing public that has helped me to sell several paintings lately. As much as I like to paint in my studio, I do eventually run out of space to store finished paintings. It’s always satisfying to find new homes for my finished art pieces.
Thanks to my fellow art aficionados out there who like the end results of my artistic endeavours.

We had a great turnout at both shows. Lots of viewers and lots of buyers. There’s always something for everyone with these group shows. The many artists offer a variety of styles, themes and mediums.
I’m happy to say I had several sales over the course of these shows. It was fun meeting the public and seeing fellow artists in person.
Enjoy the spring weather and see you again soon.
