Art Show on the Lawn
We are always delighted and proud to support our guests and friends in their artistic endeavors. Hanging in our cottageas you'll find many original pieces of art created for us over the years by our guests.
This summer, Jean Rosati brought several of her pieces and presented an Art Show on the lawn in late August. Lots of our guests dropped by to look at the exhibiition and chat to the artist (We did note that Pete sat comfortably in the shade reading the paper for some of this!) Several of our guests purchased artwork to take home with them.
Nancy and Peter, still celebrating Nancy's birthday, couldn't resist the painting titled Open Sky -- and a beautiful painting it is. Despite the overpacked condition of their car, it went home with them, carefully balanced on Tess' lap in the back seat.
Jean works in watercolours, and her subjects are widely ranging, from a pile of Labrador puppies in a window, through a series of Muskoka landscapes, to close ups of flowers, and vignettes from her trips in Africa and Italy. Truly, she has something for everyone in her portfolio!
We can put you in touch with her, if you like what you see here on the Blog!
Shelley is a very talented artist as well, and the two ladies got deep into discussions about techniques and mediums. Maybe next summer we can entice Shelley to exhbiit some of her works with us as well.
