HIGH NOON AT NOON: Andy MacDonald

Happy New Year everyone!  Once again, we are beginning our inventory which also means we are finding some wonderful works that are still looking for homes that we feel are wonderful!  Our annual HIGH NOON AT NOON begins today and continues until January 15th, 2017. HIGH NOON is a time sensitive "sale" on  selected works that the gallery and artist that created them feel is some of their best works...but haven't found a home yet. We'd like to introduce you to these works and hope that some of them find a home with you. We feature ONE  piece of art at HIGH NOON that will be priced at a special price but for just 24 hours! 
 

Today's HIGH NOON featured work is by Cape Breton born artist Andy MacDonald. Glace Bay to be exact! Andy studied out west, in particular printmaking which is somewhat evident when you look at how he approaches his current medium of painting. Lots of mark making and experimenting with texture. 
 
This work is called "Victoria Road", Acrylic and resin on board, 11" x 14" painted in 2013.
This piece is difficult to photograph without a lot of glare in order to see the image, but a lot is also lost from it's beauty if we just show it to you without the effect the resin. So here's two images. 


BUY A HOUSE TODAY...a very artful house!

Victoria Road, image adjusted so not to see shine (ie the photographers reflection :-) 
 
A truer image of the painting, but with a bit of our reflections. But the colours are more true here and this image also shows it's depth. Such a beauty! Just think you can tell your friends you bought VICTORIA ROAD, and you wouldn't be lying. :-) 


Until tomorrow at HIGH NOON, this work sells for $375 and it's regular price is $195
