SUMMARY:Views from Pine Cottage
DESCRIPTION:Views from Pine Cottage\nMcMichael Community Exhibition\nJuly 9 – October 9\, 2022\nAbout the Exhibition \n\nSince 1965\, the McMichael has provided outstanding adult art education through high quality\, artist-led studio workshops. Today\, this tradition continues with in-person art classes and successful virtual studio workshops that have allowed participants to make art and express their creativity from the safety of their homes during the pandemic-related Gallery closures. \nViews from Pine Cottage is a juried exhibition of student-created paintings and drawings in oil\, acrylic\, pastel and watercolour. The works were produced by participants of studio and master classes led by artists Margaret Ferraro\, John Leonard\, David McEown\, Judy Sherman\, Josy Britton and Andrew Sookrah at the McMichael’s Pine Cottage and online over the past year. \nThis selection showcases a wide range of the participants’ painting interests and styles\, while celebrating their talents and accomplishments. It is also an opportunity to thank all the instructors who have enthusiastically met the challenge of delivering their artistic programming virtually during challenging times. Their commitment to nurturing creativity offers a cathartic outlet for expression and joy. \nBe sure to see the Views from Pine Cottage exhibition in the Community Gallery on your next visit to the McMichael. \n\nGET TICKETSIncluded in General Admission \nFree for members Adult – $18\n Student/Senior – $15\n Family $36\n (Special Prices Tuesday) \nGET TICKETSWorks on Canvas\nClick on an image to expand it. \nSunny Walk\nPoonam Khanna \nLooking ahead at 78\nMarinus Boekelman \nAnd then there were the colours!\nMarie-Christine Bédard \nTranquility at High Lake\, Lumberlost Nature Reserve\, Muskoka\nMarinus Boekelman \nBurk’s Falls Pond\nAngela Penman \nHolding On\nAllison Rittenhouse \nUnion Station Platform\, March 14\, 2020 Covid Begins \nDonna Saull \nViews from Pine Cottage\nCarmine Vescio \nCocktail Hour\nPamela Dey \nJoe\nNatalie Hernandez \nA Day at High Park\nElizabeth Komisar \nRegeneration\nJoanne Hill \nViews from Pine Cottage\nCarmine Vescio \nMonterey Cypress\, Pebble Beach\nDennis Brockman \nSumac Synthesis\nJoe Rich \nButtercup\nSusan Gray \nViews from Pine Cottage\nCarmine Vescio \nWorks on Paper\nClick on an image to expand it. \nla joie d'hier\nDimbinirina Randrianasol \nHolding Ground\nBess Catic-Ahmed \nCloud Break\, Early Spring\nAnita Whittal \nAutumn Joy\nKatherine Bellomo \nMorning Has Broken\nHeather Thornton \nCliff on the Hillside\nSophie Naidoo \nMorning Assembly\nIngrid McKhool \nWet Beach Rocks\nSuzanne Hernandez \nAusable Cut\nSaverio Rinaldi \nWorks by Instructors\nDonald Chrétien\nAamoo\, Bee (Pollinators Series)\nacrylic on canvas\nDonald Chrétien graduated from the Ontario College of Art in 1985 and was selected to be part of the Aboriginal Art Acquisition Program for the 2010 Olympic Games.
