The Ontario Society of Artists 140th Anniversary Show at the Aurora Cultural Centre ended on July 14. Quite a few people I invited attended the Show and sent back rave reviews about the work and the venue. I am thrilled to have sold the oil I exhibited, “First Snow, The Annex, Toronto” as a result of an email invitation. All but one of my “Annex” oils have been sold.
I have forwarded an application to the Ontario Society of Artists to have a painting included in the Government of Ontario’s Art Collection. It would be displayed in Government buildings and would be owned and cared for in perpetuity by the Ontario Archives. The image submitted is “Spring Woodlands”, oil on canvas, 24″ x 30″, #1593.
In August, I should be hearing more about the Society of Canadian Artists Elected Members’ Show at the Halifax Club in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It will run from September 30 to December 31, 2012. The Club was established in 1862. It will be very exciting to exhibit work in this prestigious building.
John is exhibiting a painting at the 140th anniversary show of the Ontario Society of Artists at the Aurora Cultural Centre. The show continues until July 14.
John offered the painting show below “Un étang, Auberge du Vieux Foyer” to the 20th annual Fuller-Keon Golf Tournament. This is a benefit for the Ottawa Heart Institute.

These 3 oil painting were in the “Little Gems Show” at Galerie Ouest in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, on the West Island of Montreal from Dec. 1-13, 2010. The show was an exhibition of small works by elected members of the Society of Canadian Artists. Pre Christmas is a good time to exhibit small works of art as they are more affordable. My paintings ranged in price from $450 to $800. The Galerie is at 37 rue St. Thomas, Montreal.
