<br />
<br />These topographical landscapes could be described as both chaotic and quietly provocative; a metaphor for bog life itself.

I keep thinking of Monet and his water lilies when I look at them. Perhaps a modern take on a similar theme.
<br />
<br />The more I look at them the more the colors and the shapes draw me into their world.

I can so easily remember the small plants, some with flowers, when I look at this work. And I am reminded how very critical it is to save these bogs, for they are such an important part of the ecosystem called earth.

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />This one intrigues me, perhaps a quieter or more serene rendition of nature's work.
<br />
<br />Thus, i can certainly say that these works deserve a closer look, so i hope you will join me at the gallery, where a study of the actual work can be done.
<br />
<br />
<br />Raphael <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Kerem</span> has created these marvelous and exquisite shrines. I am anxious to see them in person, as they are a wonderful complement to the work of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Su</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Sheedy's</span> bogs.

Reminiscent of Cezanne and Matisse, her works have depth and<br />a beautiful flow of colour to enhance her compositions.<br /><br />Jo has returned to painting after a long absence, and Sandra Whitton Gallery is both excited and delighted to have this opportunity to exhibit her new work. Jo lives just outside Kingston, Ontario, and her work can be found in private collections throughout Canada, the United States, England and Australia.<br />She has had work published by the Literary Press, among others.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWcoAb-jWVCMyATmfHfaI1UkiIJgV93XfwzBpssPei6K42NrlLMZ4K1ZbtI1g8wUe9M1x8kTFW3SGVfD-5vMgk90ebw1QTc7-7uf9YNtQZ_BOmSw6dneCclHpnQqwZu2xIGxRDOTyq-Y29/s1600-h/jo+wren+2a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 247px; height: 287px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWcoAb-jWVCMyATmfHfaI1UkiIJgV93XfwzBpssPei6K42NrlLMZ4K1ZbtI1g8wUe9M1x8kTFW3SGVfD-5vMgk90ebw1QTc7-7uf9YNtQZ_BOmSw6dneCclHpnQqwZu2xIGxRDOTyq-Y29/s320/jo+wren+2a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257008671020467442" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Along with a wonderful sense of composition and color,<br />I find in Jo's work pleasure and delight in living, as well as a sense of mystery about what is going on behind the scene,<br />which is an invitation to enter into the painting to find out for myself what is really going on!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">JOHN SABOURIN</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMhdSjEx_rKs44H7M5B-332FfeDfAszTaDxY2xddSDVs53QGQfCor07kFVPSWLrFfkj5IBDaEREbo2_XoEkjCWh0Nzijn0GbvuHcK0jeaEJxefYhXSFYVrZtM6jGLwx6_pj7F05D3MnTfK/s1600-h/john+saborin+3a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 340px; height: 218px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMhdSjEx_rKs44H7M5B-332FfeDfAszTaDxY2xddSDVs53QGQfCor07kFVPSWLrFfkj5IBDaEREbo2_XoEkjCWh0Nzijn0GbvuHcK0jeaEJxefYhXSFYVrZtM6jGLwx6_pj7F05D3MnTfK/s320/john+saborin+3a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257011664273754946" border="0" /></a>Exhibiting also for this show will be<br />John Saborin, a very accomplished stone carver.<br /><br />John was born and raised in the small community of Fort Simpson, Northwest Territories, Canada.

Artistically, I am attracted to the richness of the visual elements of the subjects. Aesthetically, I am attracted to the various readings that the images offer the viewer. And philosophically I am drawn to the irony of the photographic medium as a tool for documentation.

There is no doubting the beauty or importance of dramatic landscapes such as these. I feel however that an appreciation of the local landscape is also important. When I photograph a landscape I try to record the landscape as a whole as well as the intricacies that I find interesting. These intricacies, I find, are what makes nature so engaging. When you see a landscape as a whole it is beautiful but when you start to look at it closely it is overwhelming. Each tree is unique; each leaf dries and curls into a different shape, each beaver pond has its own atmosphere and every day the mud holds a different imprint. I find this infinite detail, and constant change fascinating. I think today we hear a lot of statistics and reports concerning the destruction of the natural world. Rarely when thinking on such a monumental scale do we stop and consider what we are losing, the immeasurable richness present in each natural area, lost forever."<br /><p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0.5in;"><br /></p><br />If you can't make it to the opening reception, come and view this show of art photography at the gallery Wednesday, August 13 until Tuesday, September 7, 2008.

The show runs from April 30 - May 18, 2008.<br /><br />Erika Olson is a professional Kingston artist. She received her BFA from Concordia University in 1997, and has had solo exhibitions here at home, as well as in Toronto and Montreal. In the years since her graduation, Erika has also participated in many group shows.<br /><br />As you can see in the following two photos, Erika's works combine landscape and still life in intriguing ways, often bridging the two by means of a window.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJUWSbedCa-YQ7sgiVdg24_6a4TuVuShCpycUq8OF9aYuzP6RVaL4t7muLoGimT6-_6OmmvxU1S7ple4R5x3rxsANjDz7LzrZOCMhch9im_wHcGstiK4GGexHsA32G99WyHygZQbpKbL6b/s1600-h/easter+lily.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJUWSbedCa-YQ7sgiVdg24_6a4TuVuShCpycUq8OF9aYuzP6RVaL4t7muLoGimT6-_6OmmvxU1S7ple4R5x3rxsANjDz7LzrZOCMhch9im_wHcGstiK4GGexHsA32G99WyHygZQbpKbL6b/s320/easter+lily.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194091811922012402" border="0" /></a>In Easter Lily we view the distant hills, but are brought back to the present by the lily plant inside the window.<br /><br />This could represent the connection between the future and the present, the open lilies also keeping us firmly in the moment.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwPvWHdhuiLXsKZrJmXaO6oJ2m8E-gqI1GmJfZiaydWAFZhayzrvryhJL1nCcNTkgT0kg8XZDDfGP2cgLTEyAEUlH2O8PpktrltrSc0GFIgx1QcCKZkfJfxM_UgRUgc_IrlluqTHYWIu_b/s1600-h/birds+of+paradise+with+view+of+st.+lawrence.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwPvWHdhuiLXsKZrJmXaO6oJ2m8E-gqI1GmJfZiaydWAFZhayzrvryhJL1nCcNTkgT0kg8XZDDfGP2cgLTEyAEUlH2O8PpktrltrSc0GFIgx1QcCKZkfJfxM_UgRUgc_IrlluqTHYWIu_b/s320/birds+of+paradise+with+view+of+st.+lawrence.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194092469052008706" border="0" /></a>Another look through a window presents a view of the Saint Lawrence river. The striking birds of paradise again seem to want us to stay in the moment, in the warmth of the home, and to enjoy the beauty of her surroundings, both inside and out.<br />These two paintings show Erika's unique combination of landscape and still life with the window connecting the two.<br /><br />Relationship with the subject has become increasingly important to Erika. She has found herself painting favourite objects and areas around her studio repeatedly.<br /><br />"In effect I am painting my life and the things I love."<br /><br />The following paintings will show that working from life is a key to her experience as a painter, although she does change and abstract certain elements of what she sees.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvCdj-vHxWYph-8aEfBZyKJUeVylXO4xChpd3cYYJxudVHXEl_0xOMzBxdEh-Bp7LM8HGa1L2xY5Mi9Arb7BPQq3JljYx6EriUQo_GntGwMzFU8ppJmi0NQtc8JEVczW8uypixkXy39SQ5/s1600-h/striped+pticher+with+tulips.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

Her muse<br />hangs around the used and broken goods of local garage<br />sales and dumps. These are the fertile playgrounds<br />of her imagination.

She taught art and photography for 25 years in locations such as Brockville, Ontario; Canberra, Australia; and Giverny, France, where she continues to teach each summer.</p>In 1978 Jennifer graduated from the University of Toronto with a Bachelor of Arts degree and from the Art and Art History program at Sheridan College. The following year she graduated with a Bachelor of Education from Western University. Her major was art education with a minor in photography.<br /><br />During her teaching career Jennifer's passion for art never ceased. She took her painting assignments seriously by completing each assignment herself beforehand and using these examples for her students.<br /><br />In 1992 which she was teaching art in Australia, she was introduced to an exciting new colour palette of that country's warm tones. This challenged and improved her ability to mix colours and changed her art forever. The ice storm of 1998 is credited with launching her next style of work. When all of Jennifer's houseplants froze, she purchased every last tulip she could find to bring home. The she photographed them and made bright, colourful, oversize paintings from the photographs.<br /><br />Today, Jennifer's paintings are striking for their strong saturated colours, enormous size and extraordinary views of intimate details. Ther grandeur fills a room. Their joyful colours and shapes can be appreciated from a distance and when examining her art closely you can appreciate her expertise in mixing colours and her skill in applying paint. Jennifer blends her bold hues with subtle colour shifts creating a smooth flesh-like surface. Her work stimulates the senses and challenges one's sense of scale.<br /><br />Jennifer's art is held in private and corporate collections including a large private medical clinic in the U.S.A. She exhibits her work at a number of galleries, art shows and studio tours each year, and she is pleased to accept commissions to paint a particular subject in her special style. She has published three books of her work and images of her art have been published in magazines, newspapers, journals, newsletters and web sites.<br /><p class="MsoNormal"><!--[endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:oleobject type="Embed" progid="CorelDRAW.Graphic.13" shapeid="_x0000_i1025" drawaspect="Content" objectid="_1267527134"> </o:OLEObject> </xml><![endif]--><o:p></o:p></p> <span style="font-size:130%;">~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ </span><br />From March 19th until April 7th, the Gallery will be showing the bold work of Coldwater artist Jennifer Lawton.<br /><br />Candy, sugar coated gummy's, caramels, and foil wrappers, served as the inspiration for this collection of paintings.<br /><br />You are all invited to the "Meet and Greet", on Saturday, March 22nd, from 1-4 p.m, where Jennifer's paintings will be accompanied by a colourful array of candy trays, and what the artists calls "tickle sticks"--(candy kabobs).<br /><br />Hope to see you there!<br /><br />Rachel and Sandysandrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03912717134509743342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388570408308066364.post-75179501656230705002007-11-21T12:28:00.000-08:002007-12-01T08:14:04.990-08:00Christmas Show 2007 -- November 21 - December 30<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="font-family: arial;" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfJYQdguSmzcx16IzomVTUXEtdnvIahyBok8oH40660sssao2iRaAE23_jAYT0TDaqy4DmxfTGg2Nuv89bt-3Zfo9nG1lRHVgywgbTxjyI0k0BRmv3Rdxn7CJN4QmAzHpBPXkQu70tz8q-/s1600-h/gallery+2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137548195168341762" style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; width: 173px; cursor: pointer; height: 138px;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfJYQdguSmzcx16IzomVTUXEtdnvIahyBok8oH40660sssao2iRaAE23_jAYT0TDaqy4DmxfTGg2Nuv89bt-3Zfo9nG1lRHVgywgbTxjyI0k0BRmv3Rdxn7CJN4QmAzHpBPXkQu70tz8q-/s320/gallery+2.jpg" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="font-family: arial;" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpLMbUwF_siz6RAZaQS80oqV2A0y54hBedd2qlgWpdsVZHW0F3MdlmEmdXgw3l7P6P663WZz4YIB63USmtlj2d-S0jR-7Iemj358njFdvvO-4YR6_5UIkM4h99eGb46pEQ0D8QPwb_idO5/s1600-h/gallery+1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137548650434875154" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 173px; cursor: pointer; height: 132px;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpLMbUwF_siz6RAZaQS80oqV2A0y54hBedd2qlgWpdsVZHW0F3MdlmEmdXgw3l7P6P663WZz4YIB63USmtlj2d-S0jR-7Iemj358njFdvvO-4YR6_5UIkM4h99eGb46pEQ0D8QPwb_idO5/s320/gallery+1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" >253 Ontario St<br />Kingston Ontario<br />(613) 531-0968<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>Wed-Fri 11-6<br />Sat-Sun 11-5</span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /><br /></span></span></span></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The artists represented in the Christmas Show are listed below... alphabetically by first name, please scroll down to</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> see all the artists, and a sample of each artist's work and a brief biography or artist statement.
