Bowmanville, May 22,1985 3 Happy First Birthday Downtown News Again this year, shopping in downtown Bowmanville will be a pleasant experience, as the merchants, through their BIA (Business Improvement Area) program, will be providing the hanging flower baskets. In addition, however, in celebration of being one of the oldest shopping centres in Ontario, flags will be hung like banners from the over-street lighting poles. This year, in an attempt to keep the litter on the main street under control, along with the new streetscape waste receptacles which were installed last year by the BIA, the merchants have purchased a street-cleaning push cart, which will permit the student hired by the BIA to further help in this regard. Of course, shoppers in the Downtown who help by using the waste receptacles are most welcome and appreciated. On July 18, 19 and 20, this year's "Summer Surprise Sale" will take place in the Downtown, ana plans are already under way to include the annual bike decorating contest, carnival rides for the kids, a bingo, a special Night Owl Sale on Friday from 9 till 11 p.m., all kinds of happenings downtown on Saturday, and, of course, bargains galore!

M2P 1K5. 416-222- 5328. by Catherine Denny What's old is what's new in the ever changing world of art which is rapidly leaning leaning toward the simple trends of yesteryear. The unschooled and imaginative hand painted designs made popularyears ago, are now enjoying a renaissance renaissance in North America as artists and art lovers turn from the abstract to the simpler, more jovial forms of work. Today's up and coming artists like Orono resident Joyce Rosseau have adopted folk art as their own -- creating pieces which resemble works of the past but are unmistakably unmistakably products ofthe present. Most of her hand painted designs are in the form of wood carvings, small chests and boxes, wall hangings, decorative cupboards; miscellaneous miscellaneous tins, and various sorts of fabrics. All of which have a definite mark of the past through the detailed, colorful design, and a presence presence of the modern artist evident in the message expressed. expressed. Although still a rookie in the field with only three years of folk art study behind behind her, Joyce has the defi nite makings of a professional. professional. "People have been very receptive of my work," explained Mrs. Rosseau, who recently entered a successful successful exhibit in the Orono Art Show. "Judging from my sales at the show, and the amount of inquiries, folk art is definitely catching on." An active member of the Kawartha Folk Painter's Guild in Peterborough, Joyce continues to upgrade her skills and test new ideas in her work. Along with taking taking various folk art courses and keeping up with new designs and techniques, Mrs. Rosseau teaches two classes of her own. "I instruct a beginners course and a second level course at my home," said the artist. "The students are really enthusiastic about folk art and create some lovely pieces of work." One of the first lessons Joyce teaches her classes is the fact that you can never make a mistake in folk art, you merely alter the original original plan. "This form of art is such a personal thing, and there's so many ways you can make an error fit into the pattern, that we never worry about slipping up," said Mrs. Rosseau, Rosseau, adding that, "all of my students, whether they thought they were artistically artistically inclined or not, find that they can produce beautiful beautiful work with a little instruction instruction to back them up." When she's not teaching, taking classes, or travelling to folk art seminars, Joyce can usually be found working working in her basement paint shop where she makes custom custom gifts for people who request request personalized orders. The artist's next exhibit will be in June when she will display her detailed folk paintings in the Man- vers Craft Show. £etoll vjklcens sikkens Superior quality ïiSZ-ZSïf wood coatings engineered to stand up against the elements.
