Poster for the Buckhorn Artists Group Show at APFTA

Today, I finished the poster for the Buckhorn Artists' Group for their exhibit at A Place For The Arts, in Bancroft, Ontario.

We will be setting up the art show on the 28th of July and the show will run from the 29th of July through to the 30th of August.

If you have a chance please come out and enjoy the exhibit.

Emil Varga

Emil's images portray the beauty of flowers, the tranquility of evening sunsets and visions of Ontario landscapes captured in watercolour and mixed media in a semi-realistic style.

He was born in Cornwall, Ontario and he has lived in Peterborough, Ontario since the early 1940’s where he attended several public schools, followed by high school at Kenner and PCVS.

After which he was offered a drafting apprentice ship at C.G.E., later transferring into product and design engineering.

Forty two years later, when Emil retired and decided to pursue a life long interest in the arts.

He is self taught, but has taken workshops from many notable artists.

"As far as creating a piece of art is concerned, I would say that as I am working on a project (in the solitude of my workshop with my classical music playing), the mood, which is serene and peaceful, seems to be almost spiritual and when finished, I am amazed at what I have accomplished. Because I did not start my painting full time until my retirement, I recommend to all budding artists study and read as much as possible because it is never too late to start a creative journey."

Northey's Barn Boutique Show

We are having wonderful, sunny day, with the temperature reaching 79F (26C) and a gentle breeze blowing to keep away the humidity for the first day of the Northey's Barn Boutique Show.



















The show is spread out over the two upper levels of the barn. On the middle level, we have five artists exhibiting their works, while on the upper level there are art displays, pottery and photography.

Upon entering the barn the first set of grids on the left side feature a few of the works by JoAnne Connell Northey; and as you continue toward the back of the area on the left you will find a multitude of items created by  Diane Collins.

The first thing that will catch your eyes are the wonderful watercolours paintings of floral and landscapes. This is followed by the many items set out on her table ranging from matted and shrink wrapped watercolours,  acrylic paintings, art cards, hand painted sun visors and our favourite a basket of sock monkeys.

This is followed by the art display of Rebecca Bilcox featuring bold, vibrant acrylic paintings of landscapes, floral and still life.

She also has a number of her delightful watercolour paintings of the local landscape and animals.



On the far wall of the barn you are treated to the bold and colourful watercolour paintings by artist Ron Dejardine.

His artwork depicts a wide variety of subject matter from eye catching landscapes, brilliantly coloured floral paintings and a number of playfully depicted barnyard animals which are sure to bring a smile to all.

As you come up the right side of the wall there are the works of Pat Harvey McCourt fearueinf watercolour paintings of animals, landscape and floral..

The show continues tomorrow at the Northey's Barn Boutique, located at 1981 13th Line, in Selwyn, Ontario.

It is open from 10a.m. - 4p.m. and if you are able to attend, we look forward to seeing you.
