The showsa国际传媒檚 tagline is sa国际传媒減rofessional artists giving voice to paint,sa国际传媒� and each artist has their own unique voice to express.
sa国际传媒淭his event is especially exciting for me as I am showing new work that is more expressionist in style, falling somewhere between representational and abstraction,sa国际传媒� said Hale. sa国际传媒淚 am really pleased to be showing with such a talented group of professional artists.sa国际传媒�
Palmer will be bringing her Glass Landscapes series to the event.
The wine glasses she depicts have clear ties to the Okanagan Valley, sa国际传媒渂ut more importantly they symbolize the sa国际传媒榝ragilitysa国际传媒� of the landscapes reflected within,sa国际传媒� she said. sa国际传媒淓veryone knows that a wine glass must be handled with care as it is easy to break. I would like people to think of our environment in the same way so that our fragile landscapes will be respected and preserved for future generations.sa国际传媒�
Nearly all of the artists are members of the Federation of Canadian Artists and will be putting decades of painting experience on display.
sa国际传媒淚 have been painting landscapes for over 30 years and am thrilled to participate in this warehouse event,sa国际传媒� said McAuley, an active member of the federation and and a past president of the Central Okanagan Chapter.
Postill, whosa国际传媒檚 been a member of the federation for 12 years, recently got some exciting news. He was one of very few artists to be promoted from sa国际传媒渁ctive artistsa国际传媒� status to sa国际传媒渟eniorsa国际传媒� status, jumping up two levels within the federation at once.
His most recent series uses an airbrush technique to create scenes abstracted by water-like patterns sa国际传媒� the kind of light distortions seen when looking through a window on a rainy day.
He remembers driving around backcountry roads looking for subject matter during rainfall, and suddenly seeing the view through his windshield afresh.
sa国际传媒淪uddenly I really saw it for the first time. I saw rivulets of water coming down and splitting colours in the background into different slices of colour sa国际传媒� a pine tree became abstract rivers of greens and oranges, and I just saw how it affected objects and light. Suddenly a light turned on.sa国际传媒�
The event runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Guests will be able to enter a free draw to win an original painting.
