Where does Gordon think he is going?

All smiles at the Lake Country Coffee House

Lake Country visit, 21 feb, 2010

On a cloudy sunday afternoon 17 creative souls ventured north to see Reta's show at the quaint Lake Country Coffee House. Drive was short and sweet, bits of blue sky seen far in the distance was a sign we would make it to Okanagan Centre to capture images for our paintings. Coffee was yummy and Reta was a gracious hostess. Her enjoyable paintings reflect the gentle soul she is. Housed in the same building is Lake Country Art Gallery displaying a fine range of paintings and photographs.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT
When I witness sunlight cascading over a face, it strikes a chord within my soul and renders me restless with excitement …… hence, I paint.
It is a specific moment in time captivates my imagination is the driving force that compels me to paint. Needless to say, most of my subjects are captured by numerous clicks of my camera in as many different angles as possible, before being rendered on the easle.
Due to my fascination with the multidimensional aspect of the human face and body, I paint in a variety of mediums although Pastels are the medium of preference.
Often enjoying "explosion" of colours, I find working with a limited palette equally thrilling.
Truly a labour of passion.

Show will be on display from 5 Jan till 28 Feb, 2010.

BC, Mi Paradiso ..... Art Show

This show is my humble tribute to the stunning landscapes of British Columbia. Being a portait/figurative artist all my life, the beauty that surrounds me here compelled me to paint it, hence my first landscape show.
