Night Walk
Photograph Nancy Mac
Nancy Mac's Artist Statement: For me, art is the Vulcan Mind Meld of our humanity. When you want to know what's in someone else's mind, you turn to the artists, be it a police sketch-artist, or a great master from another century. Art is, partly, the magic of bringing to life what only the mind saw before. And photography has its own magic. It's a strange alchemy of light on paper. The entire process is one fabulous dance of mind, body, soul, science, and light.

Windy Day, Northwest of Toronto: 36 x 48 inches, acrylic on canvas Doug MacBean
Doug MacBean, as any good artist, always attempts to create atmosphere in his paintings. This is the measure of success, in his opinion. The texture, depth and tonal range that can be achieved with oil paints has given him the ability to convey what he likes best in painting. The use of watercolour and acrylic media in his early efforts, helped him evolve.

Saint Mary's Lake
oil painting John Macdonald
John Macdonald's paintings are landscapes and figures in landscapes implying, our alienation and isolation in relation to our cultural environment and the displacement that is experienced. Other paintings deal with the encompassing of our environment, of its materialism, of unresolved interior and exterior conflicts that emerge. These paintings are metaphors for common experience, reflecting certain aspects of the anxieties of our times. The work is enigmatic and open-ended, encouraging dialogue with the viewer that evokes a mix of responses.

Vigilant Kelley Macdonald
Kelley Macdonald artist statement: I am a painter who uses oils and acrylics to paint joyful, peaceful, positive pieces. Landscapes, skyscapes, figures and everyday objects are all interesting to me. I like to paint alla prima, to get the initial emotion on the canvas. Travelling also gives me much to paint and my goal is to transmit to the viewer the feeling I get when I see the subject.

Composition 107 Ian MacLeod
Ian MacLeod: I am intrigued by patterns found in nature. To construct the essence of movement, I consciously choose to paint without recognizable subject matter in a loose and emotional style. Sweeping gestures of opaque and transparent layers of paint create surface texture and depth - focused on pure abstraction.

A Walk In The Woods Li Mahalik
Concept is everything. When I paint, my goal is to make the painting a feast to the eye, to arouse that part of us that appreciates the beauty of our existence. Technically, I try to focus on what makes a painting truly Painterly: a composition that pleases the eye; subject matter that invokes timelessness; the right values and color temperatures that define the light; and the personal romance with the subject matter which consequently creates the mood. My most recent project is to create more Abstract paintings, something that I have always wanted to do.

Putting up Pickles Mary Jean Mailloux
Intrigue with form and colour mingles with my earliest memories in life. Sensual visual pleasure has been as essential to my existence as food. At first it was looking and then it was drawing, and next painting. The challenge was on. I do look back and see how far I have come, but know also that I still have roads to travel.

Crown Point VIII Mandy Main
Mandy Main's work has evolved from her art history background and passion for 19th century American painters. Her landscapes have a receding perspective and focus on the interplay of light and shadow and the effects of clouds and water in nature. They are becoming increasingly abstract as she builds on traditional forms and techniques but allows them to be overshadowed by her own personal vision.

Buy prints, cards and original artwork. I am following an animal inspired life path. They are the only subject I feel passionate enough about to paint. While animals are my main focus I am fascinated by the textures and patterns in nature. My water-color pencil artwork is strongly realistic with every hair painted in. My oil pastel art is much looser and painterly with a bolder use of color.

Gayatri's oil and acrylic paintings may sometimes be described as semi-abstract, and the viewer is free to interpret and understand. The subject matters vary from people in ordinary life depicted realistically, to semi-abstract themes in the oils and acrylics. The paintings are often romantic representations of reality, but some may not fit into such deceptively simplistic categories. They are experiments in themes, colours and ideas.
