2017 Show
Great Big Love, oil by Kim Johnston.
A Land for All Seasons is the title for our 2017 exhibition, which takes place February 5 – March 5, 2017 at Homer Watson House and Gallery in Kitchener, Ontario. Opening reception is Sunday, February 5 from 2:00 – 4:00 pm.
The show is a collection of celebratory images of Canada, revealing an exuberant use of colour and a love for landscape. The styles range from realism to abstraction, and reflect the different ways each artist honours the peace, the openness, and the freedoms of this country.
Participating artists are: Deborah Dryden (encaustic), Carol Hughes (watercolour), Kim Johnston (oils, watercolour and pastel), Mary Karavos (paper collage), Jean Loney (mosaic), Leslie Miles (soft pastels and mixed media), Gail Root (oils and chalk pastel), and Susan Strachan Johnson (fibre mixed media).
NEW WORK FROM LESLIE MILES
Zen Series, #3
Leslie must have been doing a lot of yoga lately, because we know she doesn’t smoke! At our upcoming Eight Dimensions show, she will be taking a playful break from the pace of her plein air paintings. Her new “Zen” series features abstract paintings that both hint at meditation and mesmerize the viewer.
Zen Series, #4
See? I told you! See more of this paradigm-shifting work at Eight Dimensions. Here a copy of the invitation:

If you want to see a spectacular Tom Thomson type work in textile, don’t miss this piece by Helen. The Museum charges a nominal entrance fee during regular daily open hours, but no fee is charged the evening of the opening. So that’s a good time to go!
Another show, which involves work by Helen, Deb and Leslie, will open this week of March 24th, at the Boathouse on Gordon St in Guelph, and it will be up until the first week of June. This show represents current art of the Studio Tour membership.
