Without hope. Portret, (oil on canvas, 16×20 inches), by Petro Dhimitri

Artist: Sandee Shore
Title: The Garden of Eden
Medium: Watercolour
Size: 15″ x 11″

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.

Oil On Canvas
“At The Horseshoe”
Linda Roy

From the series of oil paintings ” Fly On The Wall” (a theme of paintings from my memories of the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto).

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.

I really loved painting this dog portrait for my friend’s wedding gift!

Title: Gay
Size: 16″ X 12″
Medium: Oil

I enjoy painting portraits, still life and landscape in watercolour, oil and acrylic.  I choose my medium to suit the subject matter that I am painting. Painting from a live model is a challenge and a joy for me. ” Gay ” was painted at the Brickworks Studio.

“GLASS SLIPPER, GLASS CEILING”
oil on canvas by linda roy 24″x24″

This double portrait was done at the club.  Two excellent subjects… having a subject who maintains a bright smile for an evening is an extraaordinary treat and then being able to add – as planned – her fiance to make a two-for-one was a special pleasure.  They are charming people and I hope I captured something of that in this effort.

This is done in acrylic on canvas. It is 18 ” wide by 22″ high. This portrait of a young boy was commissioned by his aunt who has since become a good friend of mine. I love his sweet trusting face!
