<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>A life filled with art is never empty!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Come along on an art journey with me and make some new discoveries with your art and fill your palette with good stuff.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Check here for posts about ideas and techniques to help you think outside the canvas. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Today's thoughts are about the ways we think about preparing our spaces so we can be free to have fun and create. In my own studio I have familiar things that are special, lots and lots of art books, trade magazines, a ton of green plants, pictures of my art and of course piles of art supplies. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I recently reorganized my art studio and moved things around to make more hanging space for paintings from a recent collection on some wooden wall displays. I really love the feel and smell of wood and it suits my art for display. It was worth every effort to do this as now I have created an environment. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>So the tip for today is: SET UP AN ENVIRONMENT FOR YOU TO CREATE</b></span><br />
<ul>
<li><b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">reorganize your space even if it's small try using a rolling drawer organizer</b></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>take things out that distract you or are in the way</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>put things back into that space that help you to feel creative</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>leave your supplies easily accessible so you can create when you want to</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>include an painting ideas book as a go to for getting started</b></span></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am on the last leg to finish the official final 10 boards in my creation of 100 oil on birch boards for my 2017 Tom Project, "Through Tom's eyes, a discovery of truth, light and colour"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What a journey it has been; researching both in print and archival images through the support of The Friends of Algonquin Park, visiting the McMichael Art Collection to see Tom Thomson's paintings up close and personal, and the best adventure of just being outside to paint en plein air with painting buddies. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am very thankful for the support of Terri Howell, my matchstick and main supporter through this whole journey. Her connections with Kevin Clute and the Friends of Algonquin Park opened doors for us to get permission to access the archives for research. She has driven us out to locations to paint with her Park pass always at the ready but mostly for her encouragement to just keep going.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Officially I am creating 100 boards, unofficially 110 in honour of my grampa Grimes who taught me as a child that anything worth doing requires 110 percent effort.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first official viewing of all 100 paintings will be in January 2017 in the Chapel Gallery at Muskoka Arts and Crafts in Bracebridge with my opening reception from 1:00-4:00 pm on January 21, 2017.</span>Janine Marsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11338483992680741752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5320743276713403023.post-41777239127214351422016-09-29T20:03:00.001-07:002016-09-29T20:03:06.377-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: left;"><b> This body of work will be called "Seeing through Tom's eyes, a discovery of truth, light and colour" </b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">2016 will be a very exciting year for me as I go out to paint en plein air to locations that I have researched Tom Thomson had painted 100 years ago. I got my feet wet last year a few times on camping and canoe trips to test out my oils as it has been nearly 20 years since I last worked with them. What a joy to rediscover the buttery push and pull one gets with them. The immediate drag of the brush against the birch board is different than on canvas so I have prepared them with an acrylic transparent coloured polymer varnish to bring out the rich warm tones and grain of the wood and to also help the slide of the paint across the surface.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So far my test panels have given me the chance to play with oils again in more of an immediate way to try to capture the essence of a place. Working alla prima in a very direct attack requires me to let go of anything I have previously known. The feeling of working in oils is so much different than working in acrylics as it has a slower drying time and requires one to think ahead and just get down the guts of the place within about an hour or so time frame without putzing around. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have applied for an Ontario Art Council Grant and a Canada Art Council Grant to help offset the costs of producing this body of work for this project. I hope to hear soon from the OAC and will keep you posted as I get word. In the meantime I will be painting away and knocking them down til my rack is full of finished panels ready to show the world. Totally honoured and delighted to have one of my exhibition proposals accepted already for a committed show for July and August in 2017 at The Algonquin Theatre in Partners Hall which will be an anchor to other multifaceted events being planned to celebrate the 100 year anniversary since Tom Thomson's untimely death and also to celebrate the 150th Birthday for Canada! How cool is that to be able to be a part of such an incredible milestone in my community. The show of support and commitment has given me courage to apply for other exhibitions during 2017.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.3em;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Learn to see colour as value in black and white and how to identify value and intensity as they relate to colour. Develop your design skills with a keen eye to create stronger compositions by organizing how you pattern analogous or contrasting values and intensities together in your work. Create expressive mood in your paintings by using these methods to expose subtle nuances as well as learn to identify colour temperature and how to mix fresh clean colour. Discover the mysteries of making better value and colour choices to fill your paintings with energy, colour and light. Subject matter will range from nature-based and representational to realist. You can choose to work in the media of heavy body, fluid or high flow acrylics, watercolour or pastels. Demonstrations, practical colour theory, group discussion, as well as opportunities for one-on-one instructor interaction ensure a sound knowledge in the working methods of these exciting mediums.</span></span></h1>

constant change, as one season blends into the other with the stroke of a brush.
The transitions of light and colour shifts fuel my desire to capture the

canvas and what spills out from within is the joy and wonder I feel while
surrounded by nature.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">SPRING IS FINALLY HERE!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Thankfully the warm weather has returned and Spring has Sprung! I look forward to longer days, warm sunshine and getting outside to paint. The painting above was done for a Muskoka Arts and Crafts Gallery Challenge which was to be inspired to create by a quote. I chose one that has stuck with me for many years written by Winston Churchill as follows.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">" Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." Winston Churchill</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"> These words continue to inspire me every day, and remind me to never give up. My Dad always told me that he admired my tenacity, courage and determination. I am thankful for both my creative Mom and a very inventive Dad and for the never ending encouragement they gave me in the formative years. I have never looked back from a decision that I made as a young child to pursue my dreams as an artist. Life is a beautiful journey, full of surprises, twists and turns and I have learned to trust and bravely face whatever comes. Brief moments of darkness, fear or disappointment are replaced by the joy and thankfulness of not having to face it alone. Knowing my art is a conduit for expression I can rise above and show my sheer joy and wonder of nature, ever changing and ever soothing to my soul.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">This Spring I am thankful for friends, family and the honest love and care of a special man who has opened my eyes and my heart to love again. So I close with a moment to reflect on the goodness and mercy shown to me in my life. Onward and upward, moving beyond the trials of today to a fresh new day full of joy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">HAPPY SPRING to all of you, and may the sun shine on you today! Have a colourful day!</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763;">WINTER LIGHT-Acrylic on crezon panel 36x48</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Here we are again in the season of Winter with all of its wonderful hues of blues, purples and greens. I love getting outside in the Winter and going for walks in the crisp air. I have fond memories of going with my Dad out on the trappers trail to look for the perfect Christmas tree. It was fun but tough slugging through the deep snow and more so for my Dad who hauled out the saw for the final pick. This painting is done from my memories of that time spent with my Dad and the brisk walk through the bush where all you could hear was muffled sounds of our snowshoes as the snow gently floated down around us. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #073763;">Perhaps that is why I was tickled pink when I was commissioned to paint "Winter in the Northern Woods" by Lawren Harris. The painting that Harris did could easily be from anywhere around here, but the lay of the land reminds me of Oxtongue Lake area. It is structured with such skill that it took me a lot of time just to draft it out in order to get it as accurate as possible to what Harris had in mind. The way the boughs bend over with the weight of the snow reminds me of my own painting with evergreens like Spruce and Balsam heavily laden with fresh snow. What a joy for me to paint "Winter in the Northern Woods" with all the blues and purples and even some hints of pink from the late afternoon light on the bark of the red pine tree trunks. I called the three trees in the forward a little family with Momma, Poppa, and baby tree basking in the last rays of sunlight before nightfall.</span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">AHHH!!!! The smells of fall...the crispness in the air, the mind blowing colours all leave me feeling heady, alive and blessed to live and work in Muskoka. I was out painting on Sunday afternoon to my favourite painting spot, Ragged falls. I grew up around the corner from this very special place. It is a place of peace and tranquility for me. I could stay there all day and never tire of watching the water meander downstream, and then bubble and rush downstream over rapids that lead to a spectacular set of ragged and rocky drops as it descends to the bottom. </span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">WOW...although it was a little overcast, the colours were singing for all they are worth!! Oh....the glorious hot oranges and reds, the glowing yellows...this is the time of year that I get to bring out all the hot big, boys of cadmium red and orange and all my fun colours of transparent orange oxide. </span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I never take any of this for granted and am so thankful that all of my being gets to see, hear, touch, smell, and even taste the mist in the air. The beauty of this place transcends time and space. The painting of the woman is actually me. My son Jon yelled out to me, "Mum...don't move" He snapped a great photo of me that I later used as a reference to make this painting. I was caught up in the moment of basking in the sunlight and how it filled my skin and eyes with energy and light. The painting best describes how I feel as a person about this place. Many of my paintings express the joy and wonder that I see in nature, but this painting eludes to something more special and everlasting. I get to experience the ordinary in unique ways and have been given the gift to express it through my art. However this painting shares that fact that this earth is my temporary home, and one day I will truly go home.</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This year I am more thankful than ever for the simple things in life that bring me joy. I may not have much according to the worlds point of view, but what I do have is immeasurable and overflowing. May you find peace and quiet in the beauty of this season. Happy Thanksgiving! </span><br />

I felt a bit like Emily Carr being invited to go and paint with the boys. It rained four out of five days, but it was a trip to remember for sure. One particular afternoon, I climbed up a cliff for a better viewpoint to jot down a quick watercolour sketch of Burnt Island Lake. I only had a few minutes to get down the fast approaching storm coming. The air was heavy with moisture, and the birds weren't singing and nothing was moving...it was so still...the calm before the storm. Then I saw the sky darken with ominous blues and purples smothering the colours of the land with their veil of light. A finger of clouds edged along the sky wiggling and writhing across the horizon, squeezing out the last rays of light. Then...crack...kaboom...and it started with a heavy downpour. At least I got my little sketch done in time before the storm hit.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The little sketch sat tucked away for a few years, waiting to become a full fledged painting. Well in 2011 it finally happened, when the annual gallery challenge was issued from Muskoka Arts and Crafts to create a piece of art in the style of a famous artist who inspired me. Well hands down...it just had to be A.J. Casson for me. I had the opportunity of a lifetime to meet A.J. when I was about eight years old. My parents owned a resort on the doorstep of Algonquin Park called Timber Trail from 1965-1988. Casson used to come to the Oxtongue area to paint. One day he asked permission from my dad to go down to paint the landscape from our beach by the Oxtongue River. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I didn't know who he was from Adam at the time, all I knew was that he was a<i> real artist</i> and I wanted to meet him and watch him paint. He had positioned himself on the beach with his easel all set up and his paint box out painting the scene facing him looking upriver. I approached with caution not knowing if he would let me stay. I remember clearing my throat to get his attention and asking him quietly and politely if I could stay and watch him paint. Well...he kind of eyeballed me over...and kind of grumbled a bit...and then he said.."I guess it's OK as long as you don't ask me any questions". I nodded obligingly and froze on the spot and didn't move an inch so I could stay and watch him paint. I didn't know who he even was until I asked my dad later on. I figured if this old guy finds my backyard interesting to paint then so do I, and with that thought it finalized my decision to become an artist when I grew up.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To this day, I still respect, honour and cherish the land and its many moods and seasons. I don't take it for granted for a second and have never outgrown my child-like sense of awe and wonder in nature and living things. As I mature as an artist I find my work delves deeper into this love affair with the land into more of a responsibility to preserve and protect the very thing that brings me joy. Consequently my art is also a form of stewardship and reflects the gift I have been given to share the joy and wonder that I see, but also as a call out to protect it for future generations.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">STORM COMING-BURNT ISLAND LAKE was painted from my memory of that trip and from a tiny watercolour sketch no bigger than 5x7. It finally become what it was meant to be...a unique record in time about the power of nature.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope you get to enjoy some summer storms like this one to add to your memories! HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!</span><br />

Open Tuesday to Saturday 10:00-5:00. Call Gallery 705.645.5501<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /><span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: bold;">Hope you can get out to see the show! Exciting news...I will be there at The Chapel Gallery on May 29th from 10:00- 12:00 for a live interview with Cogeco cable. Check it out later next week!</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My solo show commemorates my journey of discovery, joy and wonder that I experience in Nature. It is called "Reflections of Nature" but the river runs much deeper than that as it is also a reflection of me and who I am. My art expresses my inner convictions and worldview and a yearning to protect the very thing that brings me joy. Yes it is about reflecting the beauty that I see in the sparkle of dew on a unfolding leaf. or in diamonds of light dancing across the water, but the inspiration is only the beginning of expressing what I feel is worthy of fighting to protect.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I experienced a true "shift" a couple of years back during my participation in an event called artSHIFT which was part of a much bigger event called Creative Shift. It was a real turning point for me as I no longer saw my work as only a means of celebrating the joy and wonder I see in nature, but to use my art as a call to action to protect and preserve our environment for generations to come. I was paired with a local creative innovative company called Lord and Partners, a manufacturer of green chemistry. It was a fantastic opportunity to think outside the box and create a piece of artwork that reflected his intentions and direction as a company. It caused a "shift" in me and helped me to really recognize how my art can speak a different language and inspire others to come forward into a sense of stewardship and responsibility. </span><span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The artwork I created out of auto parts and cleaning fluid was called " A greener tomorrow" and became the starting point for my solo show.</span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There is another underlying element in my work which permeates everything I do, and that is my unwavering faith and spirit. I haven't lost my childlike sense of awe, and I am still amazed by the beauty of it all. No matter what challenges I have faced or how bad things get or how dark life may be at times, I choose the light to carry me through. My art also becomes a form of personal stewardship and a sense of responsibility to use my creative gift to assist worthy organizations and helping others and our planet. There are five paintings that I have selected and designated to have portions donated to specific organizations, such as The Muskoka Heritage Foundation, The Friends of Algonquin Park, The Canadian Cancer Society, and Habitat for Humanity Muskoka. I have also selected " A greener tomorrow" to have a portion go to the TD Canada Trust Friends of the Environment Foundation, of which I am a monthly supporter and also act as a voting member on a local board for grants approvals.</span><br />

<span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am very excited about my solo show and to present some new works to the public. I have always seen my art as a way to encourage a response from the viewer. My greatest hope is that the viewer will feel connected to a living breathing earth and want to protect it for all it is worth.</span><br />
