The days are getting longer, some of them are getting warmer, and the snow is melting. Spring must be here! I can't wait for it to fully arrive, with flowers, leaves, and COLOUR! In the meantime, I found myself drawn back to images of Montreal's iconic Five Roses Flour building. I don't think I'll ever get tired of painting this structure - it's placement between two grey, mostly derelict industrial hulks, the massive neon sign, and it's location in the old port all pull at me. This one is a little smaller than the previous paintings - let me know what you think! My sister and brother-in-law have ridden and trained horses for years. She taught me to ride before when I was so young I can't remember how old I was at the time. They particularly like Appaloosas, a magnificent breed with a huge variety of colouration and spotted coats. This beauty was one of theirs until recently. I feel lucky I had the opportunity to know him and experience his gentle personality. Here he's in the paddock, patiently waiting for his rider. I imagine he's waiting for someone equally beautiful as he is, so I've titled this "Waiting for Godiva". It's a bit of a departure from my recent urban landscapes, but variety is the spice of life, right? Galerie203 Montreal is expanding to a new gallery space on Avenue Greene in the Westmount neighbourhood of Montreal. The doors opened last week, and owner Corinne Asseraf is planning a celebratory Meet the Artists event over the weekend of April 22. Do stop by this wonderful new space and say hello to Corinne. I'll be at the event and would love to say hello to all my Montreal friends there. The original gallery is still on Notre Dame West, so you can still see lots of art there, too. Contact Galerie203 for more information! |
