Getting Ready For Our 4th Season

All of our artists have been busy painting and creating for our 2011 season. Catherine, Linda, Bill, Mary Lyn, Susan, Amelia, and Len are returning and we have some new artists joining us as well. I will write more about our new members in my next post.
This year we will also have a wall designated for a featured artist, who will exhibit for part of our season. The featured artists will change throughout our season. Watch for my next post for a list of the Featured Artists and when they will exhibit.
We will gather at the gallery on the 6th of May to hang our work so we are ready to be part of the 2011 Grand Bend Studio Tour, which takes place the following weekend.

A Day At The Gallery

Yesterday was my turn to work at the gallery. 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.

Meet Our Artists: Linda Rupp

Linda works with glass. She loves the colour, the texture and sparkle. In 1995 she started working with stained glass. In 2004 she took her first glass fusing course and was hooked.

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.

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.

The Gallery Painting Group

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.
