Amberwood Gallery
The solo show of my work at the new Amberwood Gallery in Stittsville is over. The show was well attended (open Thursdays and Sundays) and I am pleased to say that we had four paintings purchased with a cheque for 25% going to the AVRA Building fund. Hopefully the show may return next fall when I have new work.
In the mean time, local photographer John Edkins is showing a large number of wonderful, mounted photographs for sale in the Gallery over the Christmas season.
Art for All
I was pleased to have been included in this all-new, Art For All, West Carleton Art Association exhibition in the Myers Cadillac showroom, 1200 Baseline Road at Merivale. It was an exciting new venue with 44 juried artists in an inspirational location. I'm told eleven works were sold!

Plein Air Ensemble (PAE)
Just back (October 2021) from a wonderful 4 days of painting in the Calabogie area while staying at the Calabogie Peaks Resort with PAE. On the last evening, the 24 artists set out their work for everyone to see. There was plenty of laughter, compliments flying by the dozens and promises to be back for the next trip - where ever PAE takes us. Next morning everyone said their goodbyes and set off home with lasting memories fresh in their minds and new work stashed in their trunks.
Thank you Mary Moore and Tom Lillico for all your efforts to make this such a successful trip in this stressful time of COVID.
Where will we go next?

The Ethel Curry Gallery
HALIBURTON, Ont. — The Ethel Curry Gallery is planning to celebrate its 25th anniversary with an exhibition featuring paintings by Bryan Ateyo, Rod Prouse and Charles Spratt, (originally scheduled for Aug. 1st- 30th, 2020). Still on hold.
The Ethel Curry Gallery is an important fixture of the Town of Haliburton. It is named after Ethel Curry (1901 - 2000), an important Canadian painter and close friend to several members of the Group of Seven that came to paint in her area. (See Northern Belle, The Life and Times of Haliburton's Ethel Curry by Robert Popple).
My association with the gallery began in 1998, when I was invited to teach watercolours at the Haliburton School of Fine Art (Sr. Sandford Fleming Ontario College). I am proud to say that I have been represented by the Ethel Curry Gallery ever since.
