Title: The Wistful Prince
Medium: graphite
Size: 11″x11″
Artist: Mark Johnson
Year: 2011
About the painting: I was imagining how a simple Frog might respond to the magic, beauty and poignancy of a Pensive Dancer. Perhaps the magic would bring about a certain wistfulness in the Frog, and make it wish it were a Prince who could kiss the Dancer who could awaken her from her inward gaze with a simple Kiss.
About the artist: I like to explore and share my sense of Wonder & Whimsy

Title: Sombre Light at the Brick Works
Medium: Oil on Wood Panel
Size: 36″ x 48″
Artist: Charles Wakefield
Year: 2010
Artist’s Statement: I started painting a series on the Don Valley Brick Works a few years ago to document the changes which were taking place in this historic site in Toronto. While most of my works are Plein Air paintings, this one is a studio piece, based on photographs that I take on my many walks through the walking trails in the old quarry. I chose to make this painting almost monochromatic to capture the moodiness of the scene. It was an overcast day, with low clouds, the city-scape barely poking through the clouds. The reflections of the buildings in the pond were marred by the slightest ripples indicating a breeze. The sun was bravely shining, behind the clouds, in a vain attempt to burn off the heavy mist, and cast its light on the glassy pond.

Title: Visit to the Sugar Shack
Medium: Watercolour
Size: 10″ x 14″
Artist: Ian G. Nicholl
Year: 2010
About the painting: This painting was done after a March break visit with our granchildren to a sugar shack near Huntsville. It was a glorious spring day. Following a cool night the sun had the sap running and the children enjoyed snow cooled maple sugar twirled on a popsicle stick. In bush that was almost monochromatic, the children’s clothing provided a bright focus.
