Thank you to the city of Fredericton @fredtourism for allowing me to fulfill this residency at Killarney Lake Park. I had a great time observing and painting outdoors. I am still working on the larger painting. These smaller studies on paper are all available for purchase, and come matted. Please DM for inquiries if you are interested in purchasing one! #artistsoffredericton #artistinresidence #explorefredericton #fredericton #frederictonartistresidency #nbartist #frederictontourism #supportfredlocal #killarneyartinres #pleinair #naturestudy https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf1TwwzlI10/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#SupportFredLocal campaign aims to help local businesses struggling with pandemic restrictions

Level 3 restrictions have been hard on businesses across New Brunswick - many have had to close, reduce capacity, or turn to take out only.

"The first lockdown was horrible of course but we'd come off a normal winter time, this one is doubly bad, we've come off a very poor showing in November, December into a very bad January," said Ted Jones, co-owner of Kitchen 540.

Businesses affected by the lockdown are worried what empty streets, and empty seats could mean for their employees and the bottom line.

"The streets are empty, you can park anywhere, I just don't know what more could be done,” said Jones.

"We have a lot not working right now but we're very hopeful that it's temporary, well we know it's temporary but we don't know how long it'll be, we hope it'll be short," said Krista Touesnard, co-owner of The Tipsy Muse.

Fredericton Tourism says they hope businesses can get over the hump of the current lockdown.

“A lot of them are constantly being forced to pivot and how can they survive because it's not just to be able to keep the lights on it's the livelihood of their employees to be able to make sure that they still have a job and how to protect them, so there's a lot at stake," said Stacey Russell, manager of Fredericton Tourism.

Supporting local doesn't seem to have the same appetite it did in the beginning of the pandemic, but Fredericton Tourism is hoping a new contest called Support Fred Local might take a bite out of the problem.

"When we knew we had to cancel Frostival and postpone Dine Around Freddy, we spoke to a number of restaurants to see what the vibe was and what the temperature is, everything we were hearing from restaurants was this has been the hardest time ever through the pandemic so we knew the moment Premier Higgs made the announcement to go into lockdown we had to move very fast," Russell.

Fredericton Tourism's #SupportFredLocal contest goes until Monday, Jan. 31.

As it stands right now, Level 3 restrictions are slated to end Jan. 30 at 11:59 p.m.

Day 12 Fredericton Summer Artist Residency, Killarney lake. I got myself settled in the brook today and it was not long before i was packing up to the sound of thunder rumbling in the distance, which alerted me to a severe thunderstorm watch. The storm never did happen. So I will be back down there over the weekend to work on finishing up this large landscape. It was such a lovely experience to paint in the park each day for the Fredericton Summer Artist Residency! It set me on a good momentum for painting all summer long! Stay tuned for my next residency starting August 1! @fredtourism #artistsoffredericton #artistinresidence #explorefredericton #fredericton #frederictonartistresidency #nbartist #frederictontourism #supportfredlocal #killarneyartinres #pleinair #naturestudy https://www.instagram.com/p/CfxCIc1PFFa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 8 Fredericton Summer Artist Residency. I was able to get down to the brook today for some work on this large 36”x48” painting. Today marks the beginning of my second, and final week painting at Killarney Lake Park. Every day I’ve been on the trail loop, chatting with park users of all ages and it is really such a pleasure! I will post the time and location that I expect to be in the park each day this week. For half of my time, approximately 2 hours, I plan to paint small observational studies within 200 meters of the Killarney lodge trail access, to the to the right along the lake. I hope this location is accessible to more people. For the second half of my day, i will be painting down in the brook trail. My sign is on the main trail pointing the way. Many have been venturing down, delighted to find me, however this trail is not accessible to everyone. It is a somewhat steep slope with some debris on the way down, so please be cautious. If you can’t come down the trail, you can shout a Hello from atop the trail. You will see me down there. #artistsoffredericton #artistinresidence #explorefredericton #fredericton #frederictonartistresidency #nbartist #frederictontourism #supportfredlocal #killarneyartinres #pleinair #naturestudy https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfm9Njpsk2_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 6 Fredericton Summer Artist Residency . I chose the rainiest part of the day and the umbrella didn’t help much at all. I got part way into a study and my paint palette was a puddle. Will finish this one later. ☺️ #artistsoffredericton #artistinresidence #explorefredericton #fredericton #frederictonartistresidency #nbartist #frederictontourism #supportfredlocal #killarneyartinres #pleinair #naturestudy https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfhf78sP8ls/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 3 Fredericton Summer Residency Gnarly tree roots to warm-up and some more work on this large painting. Lots of friendly folks out to walk the Killarney Lake loop today. It was a beautiful day, perfect in the shade! I will be there again tomorrow from 8:00AM to 12PM, hopefully before the forecasted rain. @fredtourism #artistsoffredericton #artistinresidence #explorefredericton #fredericton #frederictonartistresidency #nbartist #frederictontourism #supportfredlocal #killarneyartinres https://www.instagram.com/p/CfaJMIjtzKP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 1 Fredericton Summer Artist Residency at Killarney Lake @fredtourism. My goal today was to find the location that will inspire a large 36”x48” painting. I hiked a good section of trails before the rain fall. I ultimately found my spot in the shade down along the brook on the marked snow shoe trail. You may find me sketching each day to warm up along the lake trail near the lodge. My sign will be pointing in the direction of my shaded location off the main trail. Come say hello. I will be there every day for the next two weeks! I expect to be there from 12:30-4:30pm tomorrow June 28. #artistsoffredericton #artistinresidence #explorefredericton #fredericton #frederictonartistresidency #nbartist #frederictontourism #supportfredlocal #killarneyartinres https://www.instagram.com/p/CfUtS8ZF20V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
