Emily Provincial Park (16 x 24) oil, by Carol Berry, copyright 2006

This painting of the view from the beach at Emily Provincial Park on Pidgeon Lake near Omemee, Ontario. Mixing the blues was very elusive, I finally realized that I had mixed all my tubes of blue paints together to get the blues I wanted.

Coming from England to Canada more than 50 years ago, it was fun to return to  the U.K. to paint this sceneof the usually short-lived english winter in the so-called West Country.

This is another view of this area of Jarvis and King which appeals me  a lot because for its 19th century buildings and modern Toronto.This full size watercolour is called “St. Lawrence Hall at Jarvis and  King, Toronto”. The St. Lawrence Hall was built in 1850 to serve as  the City’s public meeting place. Today it is the facility of choice  for the film industry, TV series and music videos.

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.
