I am intrigued with the Canadian painter, Gordon Smith’s abstract landscapes. His use of long gestural marks and strokes and his undulating patches of colour.

Come to the edge.
We might fall.
Come to the edge.
It's too high!
COME TO THE EDGE!
And they came,
and he pushed,
And they flew.

Christopher Logue (1926-2011) was a an English poet.

A collection of art created by the members of Flying Colours Artists Association. All members work from the same choice of up to seven reference photos. The show highlights the different interpretations of the same subjects to show some of the ways that a subject may be communicated with visual art.

The West Fine Art Show presents a spectacular array of art this Spring!

20 Artists in Attendance

The primary goal of the workshop is to encourage participants to approach landscape painting with an experimental attitude and the idea that, “It’s only ten bucks worth of materials. Have some fun.” Let’s aim to challenge ourselves to “loosen up.” Along the way, we’ll talk about composition, values, and colour as they apply to our paintings.
Participants are encouraged to bring several landscape photos as references.

Annual spring show of members of the Art Society of Strathcona County. In the fall of 2018 the public submitted personal photographs that they would like to see as the inspiration of a work of art. Society artists chose photographs that spoke to them and have been working all winter to create artwork from these photographs. Each photograph may have more than one work of art created from it.

This is a unique show. Most of the artwork in this show will be artwork inspired by our patrons. A call was placed in 2018 for photos and the artwork that you will be seeing is inspired by photographs submitted. Artists are also invited to show one piece of their choosing as well. This will be a really interesting take as there are a number of photos that have been chosen by 3 or more artists.

This solo exhibition will showcase quilt paintings of Suzan Berwald. : Art on the Inside Gallery
