Behind a Glance

 

Gordon MacDonald - Outside Dorchester, 12" x 7", Oil on Copper

As you might have heard, it's that time of year again... time for Gordon's annual SHOWCASE! Right around now the gallery turns from "a little bit of everything" to "calm and collected" as we feature 25 new pieces by Gordon MacDonald.

Gordon MacDonald - MacDonald Hill Looking North

Gordon MacDonald - What Lies In Front

The special thing about Gordon's work is he often paints on copper. This creates a beautiful "under glow" to the paintings. Stunning to see in person!

We have had some work by Geordan before and loved it so much we decided to stock more! Each are designed and screen-printed by Geordan himself, so technically... each is an original work of art.

How does your Garden Grow?

It's finally here!  Full on mid-Summer sun and plants are thriving everywhere you look! Maybe it's the flowers in a park you walk through or along a favourite trail. Maybe it's as close as your backyard or deck....or maybe in our gallery! Come for a stroll through our artful garden.

 

Many of our artists are inspired by their gardens and it shows with all the pops of colour in the gallery right now. Check out this newly arrived paintings by Raquel Roth.
