Spirit of the Dance #5

Brian J. Michon
“Spirit of the Dance #5″
Acrylic on canvas
24″ x 36”
“Here is another painting in my Spirit of Dance series (number 5) in which I attempt to employ a very loose and quickly executed approach. The primal feel taken by the dancers, is hopefully what I convey in my work when attempting to portray the nobility and courage of the dancers.”
Brian is from Geraldton, Ontario.

Artist Bio:
Growing up I always enjoyed art.  Whenever I had a chance during my travels I would visit art galleries and be in awe of the artists creations.
I am a self taught artist who is inspired by the beauty of God’s creation.
I enjoy the challenge of creating with oil and acrylic on canvas.
I thank the Lord for giving me such a wonderful gift that I can share with others.
It has been exciting to have my work accepted in the open Juried
Show and Wildlife Show at Beaux-arts in 2012.
Receiving honorable mention and peoples choice award has inspired me in my art work.  Over the past years I have also painted set piece for the Brampton Music Theater and it is a thrill to see everything come together on stage.
This is been a great adventure and looking forward to what the future holds.

Approaching Snow

D. Scott Taylor
“Approaching Snow”
14″ x 20″  Edition of 350
$$140 CND

http://www.dscotttaylor.com/maingallery.htm

D. Scott Taylor is a self-taught watercolour artist and has been painting professionally for over 20 years, beginning with numerous commissions of aircraft, homes, cars and people. Scott’s attention to detail and his ‘high realism’ style have been his bench-mark over the years, while at the same time, he attempts to find subject matter which is both pleasing to the eye and to the heart.

As you can see on his  website  under the Hockey Art category, Scott can now completely customize your painting. He hand-paints the different names, numbers, jerseys, helmet colour, & even hair colour to match your favorite hockey player. This ability has been met with considerable enthusiasm amongst those searching for the perfect gift!

Scott lives in Brampton, Ontario with his wife and four children (all of whom can be found in his paintings…. including Scott!)

Lu has a home studio on Cedar Brook Farm, her family fish farm. Her deep feelings for Georgian Bay live in the art she creates; her rocks and water reflect the love and warmth she has for this unique part of Canada. She has a great affection for the character of old farms and lighthouses. Lu has developed a new style and format based on watercolour for her medium.
