Title: All That Jazz
Medium: Acrylic on paper
Size: 12″x9″
Artist: Gay Gooderham

About the painting: This painting was inspired by a beautiful jazz concert by Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke and Lenny White playing at Koerner Hall shortly after it opened. The notes just flew up into the air in bursts of colour.

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.

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.

Watercolour – 13.5 x 19.5 inches by Gay Gooderham

This watercolour called Childhood Summer reminds me of a street near where I grew up in Oakville. It was a carefree time. We raced outside after breakfast and returned when the street lights went on.

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!
