With the help of my husband, Brian, I was able to hang some new work. The weather was perfect and I saw lots of families making their way to the beach. The boaters took advantage of the great day too and many fabulous boats passed by on the river behind the gallery. I had the opportunity to meet many friendly people and to catch up with Theresa Marie, from the River Road Gallery next door. In between visitors to the gallery, I worked on a small watercolour painting which is below.<br />

As well as Dichroic Glass jewelry, which is her most popular item, she fuses plates, bowls and panels. Most of her panels include birds or other scenes from nature.<br />
<br />
She has just returned from the Glass Expo in Las Vegas in April with lots of new ideas. Come and see some of her Glass at Sunset Arts.Susan Garringtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10431518126470633354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2832742662227401747.post-64786770008761860482010-05-14T07:43:00.000-07:002010-05-14T07:46:11.949-07:00The Gallery Painting Group<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Several of the artists of Sunet Arts, namely, Amelia Husnik, Len Hughes, Christopher Grimes, Mary Lynn Smith and Susan Garrington, belong to The Gallery Painting Group, a London based organization of painters who get together twice a week from May to September in order to sketch and paint on location. This group was formed over 50 years ago. They gather to work in private and public spaces. Every Year they have a public showing of their work from the year's "paint outs". Some of the work currently on display in the gallery has been done on location at The Gallery Painting Group paint outs.Susan Garringtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10431518126470633354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2832742662227401747.post-35098824074589945852010-05-14T07:39:00.000-07:002010-05-14T07:39:06.344-07:00Meet our Artists: Mary Lynn Smith<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2TlZMUXYkBj3_GODJLmNYPiuC8o7bOVH0whU7mXh21JlSwoeWE4P9KFm_-NaMGrod3xSnwc5FUPlkAeg5VtJ5EgFM5cOUEbfepjOnNsuSzqk75nL8pCOcAIO-_bxAgzuIV1J3bWeJcdE/s1600/Mary%20Lynn's%20picture%20copy.jpg%202.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="206" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2TlZMUXYkBj3_GODJLmNYPiuC8o7bOVH0whU7mXh21JlSwoeWE4P9KFm_-NaMGrod3xSnwc5FUPlkAeg5VtJ5EgFM5cOUEbfepjOnNsuSzqk75nL8pCOcAIO-_bxAgzuIV1J3bWeJcdE/s320/Mary%20Lynn's%20picture%20copy.jpg%202.JPG" tt="true" width="320" /></a></div>Susan Garringtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10431518126470633354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2832742662227401747.post-65324501737626624422010-05-14T07:38:00.001-07:002010-05-14T07:38:39.904-07:00Meet Our Atists: Maria Gotz<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY-mzixPqRkVefSbjAonq-_IlrCmG0pBO3V6UxBjiVajGFst__aamyNk5oDITrUQSetnLxrEek6LW6m9h4rffTrcx-x_WweitwAzlkVLrNsq9oVaTlBFmaV4IKBhFETMyYAJyrRJXjd_g/s1600/Maria's%20stone.jpg%202.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY-mzixPqRkVefSbjAonq-_IlrCmG0pBO3V6UxBjiVajGFst__aamyNk5oDITrUQSetnLxrEek6LW6m9h4rffTrcx-x_WweitwAzlkVLrNsq9oVaTlBFmaV4IKBhFETMyYAJyrRJXjd_g/s320/Maria's%20stone.jpg%202.JPG" tt="true" width="320" /></a></div>Susan Garringtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10431518126470633354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2832742662227401747.post-69603057483553935352010-05-14T07:38:00.000-07:002010-05-14T07:39:26.812-07:00Meet Our Artists: Lynn Bickell<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYsiIon2XOVaQD32-J3X-FsrE3u1m3tzmbaIfvYizhBYPJOjkuUMpeCdnccDgxILRyM9pxVeJe1ckG64U6CLVJbGXGIDonW8d9AE38naoGxE5iScilbxCGETb2CgURLR1cwLK4h2K2PyA/s1600/Lynn's%20glass%20piece.jpg%202.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYsiIon2XOVaQD32-J3X-FsrE3u1m3tzmbaIfvYizhBYPJOjkuUMpeCdnccDgxILRyM9pxVeJe1ckG64U6CLVJbGXGIDonW8d9AE38naoGxE5iScilbxCGETb2CgURLR1cwLK4h2K2PyA/s320/Lynn's%20glass%20piece.jpg%202.JPG" tt="true" width="320" /></a></div>Susan Garringtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10431518126470633354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2832742662227401747.post-85267313019371130052010-05-14T07:37:00.000-07:002010-05-14T07:37:50.207-07:00Meet Our Artists: Catherine Weber<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglxT51YOIIbuZhjx0Gi5e45sa8g3LbVYjTlYeE83zJKSuSMaO75h47duFPOpbV7wiV594-_nUz4MyiaWPIwNhFUrq5so8HZb459A0gWf50JKsX9cY9fHG00BmP65l17iYUjcQ2CYb_Lmc/s1600/Catherine's%20picture%20copy.jpg%202.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="234" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglxT51YOIIbuZhjx0Gi5e45sa8g3LbVYjTlYeE83zJKSuSMaO75h47duFPOpbV7wiV594-_nUz4MyiaWPIwNhFUrq5so8HZb459A0gWf50JKsX9cY9fHG00BmP65l17iYUjcQ2CYb_Lmc/s320/Catherine's%20picture%20copy.jpg%202.JPG" tt="true" width="320" /></a></div>Susan Garringtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10431518126470633354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2832742662227401747.post-64202670386779331442010-05-12T06:29:00.000-07:002010-05-12T06:29:58.612-07:00Meet Our Artists: Sue Shurish<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje2afEAF_HUNSHoRTmV2YMOMbpO0ElFZvkOUNO42oegVN-gXvE8wRtnsGHsahyphenhyphenS8ejfSv9_wpOoET5LjZZfAgiuvR8wf5-NjoBuLQ67vD9aLi6Okcw0UfXM1bHxiG8HQ58-ozy8ELUDj0/s1600/IMG_8068.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="232" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje2afEAF_HUNSHoRTmV2YMOMbpO0ElFZvkOUNO42oegVN-gXvE8wRtnsGHsahyphenhyphenS8ejfSv9_wpOoET5LjZZfAgiuvR8wf5-NjoBuLQ67vD9aLi6Okcw0UfXM1bHxiG8HQ58-ozy8ELUDj0/s320/IMG_8068.jpg" width="320" wt="true" /></a></div><br />

"Current work features collage pieces of various papers stained and decorated using different techniques with fluid acrylic paints. Most works begin as abstracts, and some remain so while others suggest something more objective. Pieces are started intuitively, continued with decisions about rhythm, contrast, and movement until there is a sense of being finished. Some pieces remain simple and others become more complicated. The intensity and subtlety of the colours, patterns and textures continue to interest me."Susan Garringtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10431518126470633354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2832742662227401747.post-17510947523009302010-05-11T14:56:00.000-07:002010-05-13T06:04:19.875-07:00Meet Our Artists: Willem (Bill) Nieuland<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Born in 1944 in a small rural town on a Dutch Island, Bill remembers drawing clouds reflected in shimmering waters as early as age seven. A self taught painter from an artistic family, Bill experimented in oils, capturing the images of his youth, windmills, churches, historic houses, and tree-lined <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">dykes</span> beneath scudding clouds.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Bill immigrated to Canada in 1959, settled in St. Thomas, and soon became fascinated by the wilder and relatively uncultivated Great Lakes shorelines and Northern Ontario's wilderness. With the photographer's eye for realism, Bill excels in depicting unexpected detail in his painting, from the rose and orange of sunset clouds reflected in water to local wildlife in its natural habitat. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Always drawn to local history and lore, Bill also developed a knowledgeable interest in North American Indian culture, and has recreated various authentic replicas of artifacts and crafts, from hunting tools to complete ceremonial dress hide garments.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> From his studio in Huron Woods overlooking the Old <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Ausable</span> River, Bill finds both relaxation and inspiration, recreating various local scenes on canvas as well as images from his travels across North America.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
<br />
Len was born in England where he first became interested in painting at school. A busy career prevented him from following his interest in art but in 1985 that changed when he started to purse his interest in painting once more. He now lives in London, Ontario with his wife, Sheila.<br />
Len particularly enjoys the transparency, fluidity and speed of watercolour, his favourite medium. He tends to use watercolours boldly with pure colours in rich washes exploiting and exploring the vibrancy and capabilities of the medium. <br />
He has been influenced by the works of the French Impressionists and the Group of Seven in their use of colour to convey the effect of sunlight. His philosophy towards painting is modelled on that of Sir Winston Churchill, an accomplished artist, who said; “contentment is a joyride in a paint-box for which audacity is the only ticket.”<br />
Landscapes featuring water and reflections are one of his favourite subjects. So too, are the town and village scenes of the Languedoc region of southern France which he frequently visits. <br />
Len has frequently exhibited his work alone and in group exhibitions at various locations including Museum London. He has received various awards for his work. Len has work at Museum London’s Art Rental and Sales as well as private and corporate collections.Susan Garringtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10431518126470633354noreply@blogger.com
