Until end of day TODAY, January 15th, we'll be featuring ONE piece of art at HIGH NOON that will be priced at a special price but for just 24 hours! The works selected for these days, are 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.

Today's  HIGH NOON featured work is called "Bridge in Canning" by  artist Gordon MacDonald.  It was pointed out that the actual area depicted in the painting is really Port Williams, but approaching Canning in Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia. It is oil on board and framed in the frame pictured. The work measures 11" x 14" and the frame adds approximately two inches to the dimensions.

This is an older work, which Gordon has re-worked a bit, and in person is very luminous. He is very proud of this work, and would love for it to find a great home. The sky in all the photos we took of this work, tend to get a bit washed out, but the sky is very light blue and handled in only a "Gordon MacDonald, master of skies", can do. 


 Until tomorrow at HIGH NOON, this work is priced at $550.  After that time, it will go back to it's original price of $850.

Today's  HIGH NOON featured work is called "Peaches and Vase" by artist George Spencer.  It is oil on board and measures 8" x 10", framed in a very simple black frame.

George is a fairly new artist to the gallery, but changing and growing so quickly we can hardly keep up. Primarily, his focus subject is still-life. George has made a habit out of selecting his "subjects" from our local food seller, "Pete's Froutique" here in Halifax, for the finest subjects around. They also probably taste pretty good too, once they've served their purpose.


 Until tomorrow at HIGH NOON, this work is priced at $325.  After that time, it will go back to it's original price of $475.

For these special deals we have only featured works we've had for a long while that we feel are wonderful.

Now, we don't like to pick favourites, we really don't, but Brian Porter's work is by far one of our favourite artists. Its true. This work in particular is even more stunning in person and is only still remaining here, we believe, because many people just have a fear of clowns....but we assure you he's a friendly clown just looking for a home.
