JANET TRERISE
“DRIZZLY DAYS”
Painting
When we lived in Grand Forks, I walked along the Kettle River everyday, and this heron was a permanent resident for many years. In late Fall, the river started to freeze, snow was scattered along the shore, and it was a drizzly day!
My friend Gary took this photo and sent it to me to paint.
“SEASONS CHANGE”
Watercolor and some oil pastel
I painted this watercolour of Fall Leaves after visiting Vancouver Island in September many years ago. I love the richness of the colours, smell of the leaves as you walk down the trails and watching the forest prepare for winter.

“TWO PAIRS OF DUCKS…
REFLECTING A POND & THREE BRIDGES”
Photography
Our lovely Craig Bay Ducks; two on the reflecting Pond;
two feeding in shallow area beside one of our Three bridges.

SHARON BARRETTE
“ONCE IN A BLUE MOON”
Painting
My love of the Salish Sea and humpback whales, inspires my art, brings a smile to my face, and I hope to yours too.
The beauty of the blue moon sky and the heavenly, etherical music empowered these whales to fly and to share their forlorn songs of love and peace for all beings in kind.
WALLY CHINN
“THE EVOCATION OF SEASONAL CHANGE”
Photography
These comparative images of “Englishman River Falls”, one in the spring, and then one in the winter, evoke a depiction of the contrast between seasonal climate influences that nature so adeptly and regularly elicits!
(Printed through 6 mm acrylic.)
JENNIE MEDYNSKI
“SOULFUL GAZE”
Watercolor Painting
Capturing the expressive side of an animal is what I strive for in my paintings.
Bears are such good subjects as there are so many ways of depicting their changing moods.
CAROL ANN OWERS
“EMBRACING THE MORNING LIGHT”
Oil Painting
For me painting the human form communicates deep emotion, vulnerability, and existence without using words.
Embracing the Morning Light oil painting tells the story of a young woman waking up to the warmth of a whispering morning breeze.
DEB REIDLINGER
“LOOK! A TRACTOR”
Painting
This painting depicts the changes young boys go through as toddlers. These two are at the stage where they still love costumes, but they absolutely adore heavy machinery.
Out for a visit to a guest farm, they enjoy trying out their new costumes in readiness for Halloween, but they are totally delighted to discover an old red tractor!
BRIAN STONE
“MARBLE CANYON A”
Mixed media painting – oil and photo on anodized aluminum panel
On travels to our intergenerational family cottage in Fairmont Hot Springs we occasionally hike in Marble Canyon. This is one of several paintings inspired by experiences in the Rocky Mountains.
LANCE NORDLING
“LAKE EDGE”
Photography
A photo of leaves under water at the edge of a pond across the street from our kids home in Boston.
Change is in the air; leaves have fallen soon the lake will be frozen over.
