Don Valley Art Club, February 4th 2010 |Irene Flint, DVAC member
This oil portrait was painted on a routine DVAC Tuesday evening. All things considered, painting time usually works out to be around two hours in total, and this evening one of our members posed for us. These sessions are wonderful since the painters in attendance vary widely and wildly from one another in approach and technique. Tuesday evening at Don Valley is a weekly highlight in my life.

This is my niece Sophie and Buddy, the family dog. Buddy’s in doggie heaven now. I love his calm, protective manner while Sophie playfully explores the garden with his help.

For my friend this picture title is Jelly Fish – as she claims to see the fish swiming in the cubes of jello!… I named it Prosperity – may we all live long and prosper and may the 2010 be great in every way. Prosperity for All!

Artist’s Statement:
“My fascination with colour, design and emotion are the main motivators in every single drawing and painting that I create. The subjects, medium and colours combine with fantasy and imagination to express impressions and feelings that are experienced at the time of fruition. The act of creating is often enough to stimulate the work to a fascinating end. Turmoil and pleasure are equally important influences in my works. They have been described as vibrant and exciting, a feast for the eyes – I love this description.

When visiting family in Israel we all went for a picnic in a poppy filled valley east of Ashkelon. My nephew, a sweet, bright and articulate little boy gazed at us… “Why must you go back to Canada?” he asked. Later, we cooked over an open fire, and, as the day was warm and sunny, we dozed off under the trees.

This painting called Cityscape Europe # 1 was inspired by a cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam where I often found myself up near a castle, or on the old city walls, looking down on a city. All you can see are colourful roofs, and perhaps some people. In the painting I am making fun of the scene, while depicting it as a happy place worth remembering.
