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.

Susan Sydney

Susan Sydney was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. She always wanted to live in the country and in 1978 she and her husband, Ron purchased a farm in Smith Township. After major renovations to both the house and the barns they moved there in 1979.

She is primarily a self-taught artist but Susan firmly believes that an artist can never stop learning and has taken classes and workshops in a variety of painting media with various accomplished Canadian, American and European artists.

She has always been interested in drawing and painting. Susan creates realistic paintings which reflect her desire to combine her love of animals, children and nature with her talent.

While her favourite medium is transparent watercolour; she also uses pencil (graphite and Prisma), charcoal, pen and ink, conte, pastel and acrylic paints to help her attain the effect she requires.

Susan has been teaching watercolour and drawing classes for a number of years and is proud that many of her students have continued to develop their art talents and are becoming recognized in their own right.

Exhibitions:
Susan's paintings have been shown in over 350 Solo and Group Shows, in private and public galleries and she has participated in numerous Juried Exhibitions in Canada.

Memberships:
• 1988-1997 and 2004-present – Buckhorn Artists’ Group

• 2011-present - Lakefield Creative Arts Guild

Her originals can be found in both private and corporate collections in six of the seven Continents, (Antarctica being the missing continent so far) spanning 27 countries with the majority of her paintings throughout United States and Canada.

Represented by:
• Self

Susan’s art work has appeared on the covers of Horse Sense and Horse Talk magazines and the Ontario Pinto Horse News. She was a featured author in Horse Talk magazine for her 'How to Draw Horses" column from 1994-2004. Her black and white illustrations have appeared in The Pinto Horse and in a number of Ontario newspapers. She designed the logo for the Ontario Pinto Horse Association and the pin representing the Canadian Limousin Association in Limoges, France for the 100th Anniversary of Limousin breeding.

Artist's Statement:
"I am inspired by the beauty that surrounds me; which so often goes unnoticed or is taken for granted. I see paintings everywhere I look, whether it is walking through the fields, out on the lake, driving through the countryside or diving in the depths of the ocean. I would like the viewer to experience the sensations and feelings that made the subject of my paintings appealing to me." 

Buckhorn Artists' Group - A Brief History

The Buckhorn Tuesday Painters was formed in 1987, when several like-minded artists decided to meet together and paint in St. Matthew's Church Hall in Buckhorn, Ontario. Since then the group has evolved and expanded from the original ten members and beginning in 1989 some of the members formed the Buckhorn Artists’ Group and have offered their art to the public at their annual shows.

The Group held its first show and sale on Victoria Day Weekend in 1989. After another successful show the following year they decided to hold a Thanksgiving show and sale as well. They continued to run two shows a year until 1990 when the Group members decided to hold a summer show in August for the first time.

Enchantment an original collage by S. Sydney.

All shows are held in the St. Matthew's Church Hall in beautiful downtown Buckhorn, where visitors can view the works of twelve to fifteen different artists. If you have a chance to be in Buckhorn this year, it would be a great opportunity to drop into one of the 2011 shows.

The Victoria Day Weekend show, called "Among Friends", is held in May, the "Shades of Summer" Show and Sale will be held this year from 06-14 August 2011.

Here's a glimpse at the members of the Buckhorn Artists' Group and what their specialties are...

- Susan Sydney: has been exhibiting her work since 1982 and works in all media except oils and egg tempera. She enjoys doing animal portraits, wildlife, still life, floral, landscapes and mechanical. Recently she has started experimenting with abstracts and collages.

Winter Whimsy an original watercolour painting.

- Irene Smith: began painting in 1985. She paints landscapes, animals and floral in oil and watercolour. She also does architectural renderings in pen and ink or in pencil.





Pink Serenade an original oil painting.

- Helen Sheppard: is well known for her oil and watercolour paintings of Stoney Lake where she resides. Although most her work is of landscapes and flowers, she is often commissioned for paintings of St. Peter's on the Rock, a church on an island in Stoney Lake.


The Turtle Pond an original oil painting.

- Heather Grant: paints in oils, watercolour, pen and ink, pastels, graphite pencils and charcoal, she also carves in wood and does traditional rug hooking. Heather likes to do landscapes which often feature wildlife and buildings in her work, as well as still life and floral paintings.

Old Barn an original oil painting.

- Barbara McGregor: paints in oils and acrylics, but her favourite medium is watercolour. Scenes using water as a focal point are her favourite way of expressing her love of the Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton areas.



Forgotten Barns an original watercolour painting.

- Bonny Windover: paints mainly in watercolour and sometimes adds pen and ink details to her paintings. Her delicate paintings are usually of still life, landscapes and floral.






Forgotten Days an original watercolour painting.

Farm Sunset an original acrylic painting.

- Tom Young: started with Japanese brush calligraphy and painting which he pursued until he discovered watercolour in 1988. He has developed his own style, mainly consisting of bright colours and transparency. Tom is always ready for a fresh approach to any subject, from traditional to surrealism.






Crucifixion an original watercolour painting.

- Diane Collins: she began at an early age entering high school art competitions and won awards. Once she retired in 1998 she returned to painting for pleasure and relaxation with each piece being a "new adventure".

Petunias an original watercolour painting.
