“BEAVER POND, CRAIG BAY”

This is a view of the beaver pond near the junction of Terrien Road and Bay Drive on the south end of Craig Bay. The scene was recorded in the late fall when the colors of summer had passed leaving darker earth tones prevailing. Splashes of blue with their reflections in the pond brought some warmth to the scene.

“POPPY SURPRISE” 

Who doesn’t like poppies! They are bright, beautiful and are so joyful blowing in the wind. Makes everyone happy. Love to see the poppies when they emerge on the little knoll in the Heritage Lands. This was my first attempt at painting a large picture and trying to loosen up.

ANN LUDGATE

“TULIPS” 

The watercolour medium lends itself happily to the painting of flowers.

DEBORAH PHILIPP

UNTITLED

I did this painting a few years ago. I was into doing dots then, of all sorts. In my mind I had a feeling of migration. The dots represented people moving everywhere…fleeing countries, running for their lives.

“THE UNRAVELING” 

Sometimes just a single word can trigger a painting idea for me. ‘Unraveling’ is one of those words. I’m an optimistic person by nature.  But I feel a deep sense of “unraveling” when it comes to the world at large. On so many levels…politically, ecologically, spiritually, emotionally.

I continue to look on the bright side…even if there are a lot of dark clouds overhead.

“A BEACHY DAY” 

This piece feels kind of beachy to me although it isn’t intended to be representative in any way. Using various media I had in the studio, it evolved, with colors and shapes emerging until I felt pleased with the result.

“MINI MOD WORLD” 

Mini Mod World was inspired by the theme of the Parksvillle Quilter’s Guild last quilt show, “Colour Your World” in 2023.  Modern quilt art, inspired and created from fabric, this piece reflects a unique vision of our world. 

Normally a traditional quilter, this was my first endeavour into “Quilt Art”.  Someday it may find it’s way into a school classroom or library.

“FLOATING BY” 

Watercolour quilt.  All my friends are quilters, and I don’t have the patience to quilt…so I painted one instead!

VAL WEARING

“WINNIE” 

Winnie was a favourite daily sighting on our streets at Craig Bay and is missed by many dog lovers around our community. Pets become so much a part of our lives and are forever missed when they are gone.

I was pleased to give Penny and Neil Rowley (Winnie’s mom and dad) a memory that I hope managed to capture Winnie’s charm.
