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.

Title: Solar Storm
Medium: Acrylic
Artist: Patricia Vicari
About the painting: The sunspots created by explosions on the sun’s surface during a solar storm look oddly like huge sunflowers. I found the granulation of the surface, seen through a telescope quite fascinating and tried to capture the effect here.

Title: The White Pine
Artist: Jane Eberhard
About the painting: In Temagami Provincial Forest, the white pines are the forest royalty. This ancient giant is on high ground, but even if it weren’t, it would tower over all other trees on its island. It can be seen from a great distance, and is a landmark for boaters.
About the artist: Jane has spent summers in Temagami almost all her life. She has a strong emotional attachment to the wilderness forest. This feeling is expressed through the colours in her paintings.
