Rhythm & Colour @ Hamilton Conservatory for the Arts


'Spring Creek' (2012) - oil on board  by m.l.holton

'Every day we are surrounded and influenced by Rhythm & Colour. Both are created by design - either by Man or Nature - making one no less important than the other. Be it repetitive in Nature such as the perfectly shaped petals of a dahlia or the precisely placed telephone poles along the road; each ultimately represents a visual rhythm. As for colour, nothing in this world is free from its influence. It can either be lacking or totally engulfing by a myriad of awe inspiring hues. This beauty that we are fortunate enough to experience is the inspiration for this exhibition, showcasing the elements of Rhythm and Colour'

Please join the Women's Art Association of Hamilton 
for the Opening of  Rhythm & Colour 

Sunday, March 24, 2013 at 4:30 PM.

The show runs from March 24 to April 27, 2013 at the Hamilton Conservatory for the Arts.  Directions/Map: HERE.


... well attended Opening ...

Town of Oakville: Parks & Recreation Spring Guide 2013 - Another 'mlh' FREEBEE

Cover photo image by m.l.holton, entitled  'Paint by Pixels'

 Image was chosen by Town of Oakville Parks & Rec Dept,
from over 90 entries from the 'Capture Oakville Exhibition' of last fall.  
I was solicited, and asked to contribute this work to the Town, for 'free'.

Cover credit in guide (upper right), distributed to 25,000 households in Oakville

My 'Paint by Pixel' image used again on the Town of Oakville website as the HEADER ... 







It certainly would have been NICE to have been PAID for this work.
Ah well, just another 'mlh' FREEBEE tossed out there ...
Can get discouraging.

WHEN will 'users' realize that VISUAL & WRITTEN CONTENT is CREATED ???? 
Sure, I get some local 'promo'/p.r, but seriously, I've been doing this for 35 odd years,
I don't need PROMO or PR as such anymore - 
I NEED people to PAY for my WORK. 
Cheers. mlh
