The Shore Line Gallery-South Shore Regional Hospital this week-note location!

Gary Selig has new works on display at the Bridgewater and
Area Family Health Clinic. He’s a local artist inspired by the natural world around him, in particular landscape and water scenes.

Two of the paintings at the clinic include water, “High Noon on the LaHave” and “Ubiquitous Shoreline, Nova Scotia”.

“High Noon on the LaHave” captures a fleeting moment on the
river. In it, the sun is reflected in the narrow gap between the bank and some nearby iceflows. It will not be long before the reflection disappears as the sun moves overhead.

The title of the second water painting “Ubiquitous Shoreline,
Nova Scotia”, says it all. This is a painting of the kind of shoreline you can see anywhere in the province.

The comforting familiarity of the rocks, water and a distant wooded
shoreline painted in muted colours, makes the scene feel eternal.

Selig has three other paintings in this show. A painting of a young woman’s face, a Mexican streetscene, and a still-life
reminiscent of vanitas paintings that deal with themes of death.
It is called “Bleak Mid Winter”, and shows a vase of dried
leaves, pieces of an antler and part of an animal skin. Dark
colours and the subject matter make this an introspective
painting for the viewer.

Gary Selig’s work will remain at the clinic until mid October.
The clinic is located at 32 Glen Allen Drive in Bridgewater.

New artwork at the Shore Line Gallery to browse as you walk the main hallway at the South Shore Regional Hospital.

In keeping with our hot weather and drought-like conditions, Charlene Morton's "Sun dried orchard" features fruit trees in a sun-baked landscape.

Clouds pepper the blue sky above. An art photograph which could double as a watercolour, the colours in this work have a similar transparency.

Eric Amoah has exhibited his photographs at the Shore Line Gallery before. His latest is "Golden Hour", a large work showing a wave rolling gently onto the beach.

The sun is setting over a calm sea. "Golden Hour" is a metal print, a process that fuses an image onto a specially treated metal plate. It gives a luminous, high definition effect which is well suited to this work.

High definition is a characteristic of Greg Van De Moortele's painting style, which also features intense colours. Both can be seen in his "St Martin's and Middle LaHave".

In this work, the sky is a florid pink which is reflected in the river below. St Martins in the centre of the painting is surrounded by this amazing colour.

Ivan Carey is another artist inspired by the landscape of the South Shore. He has several paintings in the show, including one called "Stonehurst, Comforts of Home".

It shows a fish shack on an inlet with lobster traps and a blue dory on the ground in front of the building. The details appear precisely rendered but you see them because of the clear, pellucid light that Carey has captured in this painting.

A solitary figure wandering on a misty coastline is the subject of Lezlie Morgan's "Beachcomber". Morgan is a skillful watercolourist able to suggest a quiet ocean with white space and a few hints of waves.

Her beachcomber leaves a trail of reflections on the wet sand. The muted colours and fine brushwork give a sense of peace and coolness.

These artworks are on display now at the Shore Line Gallery. Next week, more artists worth a visit to the Shore Line Gallery.

At the Shore Line Gallery this month, an assortment of styles and approaches to art, highlighting the creativity to be found on the South Shore.

It is probably safe to say that Charles Weiss likes fishing, or
perhaps, fish. He has four works featuring individual fish
species. Like “Largemouth Bass” shown here, they are wood carvings painted to resemble the actual fish.

Paul Newton and Charlene Morton are fine art photographers, transforming a scene captured by a camera into something else. Morton’s is a moody blue shot of a
boat that seems abandoned on the shore. It is called “The Ottawa in Blue Rocks”.

Paul Newton has several works in
this show, including “Brown’s Branch Brook”. Golden light pulls the viewer out onto the river into the distant haze.

Ivan Carey is a regular exhibitor at Shore Line. “Forever Blomidon” is one of his latest acrylics. It shows the cape in the distance, with the ocean, farmland and trees forming
horizontal layers pierced by the vertical of a church spire. The air feels fresh and clear.

Lezlie Morgan uses watercolours for her paintings, and often she features people in them. “Monday Morning” harks back to the days when Mondays were wash days. A
woman is hanging out washing to dry. Transparent washes of colour capture the sheets blowing in the breeze, and the pines in the background.

Madeleine DeWolfe’s “Moonscapes” is an abstract. Softly coloured acrylics look almost smudged onto the picture surface. Circular shapes suggest the different phases of the moon. Gentle and luminous, the painting has a feeling of peace.

This is a description of just some of the works on exhibit at the Shore Line Gallery this month. There are other photographers, painters and sculptural works to see as well.

It is well worth checking out the complete show at the South Shore Regional Hospital.

A new show has opened at Shore Line Gallery Too in the Bridgewater Family Health Clinic. The paintings are by Mary Anne Brunelle and feature landscapes from the Annapolis Valley, a scene from the Lunenburg waterfront, and a painting of a couple on a date.

Brunelle lives in the Valley. She moved there seven years ago after living on the South Shore for forty years. It took some getting used to. Swimming in the Bay of Fundy didn’t have the same appeal as a dip in the Atlantic. The ocean is
clear. The Bay of Fundy is muddy.

Now Brunelle says she has come to appreciate the mud for its rich colours. She also likes the “big skies” and wide vistas of the Valley.

Brunelle grew up in Edmonton where skies, clouds and a big horizon were part of her everyday
environment. Two paintings show this early influence. “Harvest Time
near Blomindon” and “The Minas Basin at Wolfville” are spacious long distance views painted in a bold design.

The pinkish orange mud is the central feature in “The Minas
Basin at Wolfville”. The water in “Harvest Time at Blomidon”
perfectly reflects the clouds and sky above.

The South Shore is still part of Brunelle’s vocabulary. There is a view of the harbour in “Lunenburg Harbour and Foundry” with the freshness of plein-air painting that
Brunelle has always enjoyed doing.

She was part of a plein air group that painted the Wile Carding Mill in Bridgewater. Instead of the mill pond, Brunelle painted the back of the Mill. She likes this behind the scenes vantage point.

“Autumn on Mockingee Lake” has the directness and clarity of good plein-air painting. Fall colours and an intensely blue sky make a vivid contrast in this work. It is the
complete opposite of “30’s Lunch Date”, the only painting in
this exhibition of people close up.

The couple in this painting are Brunelle’s parents captured by a street photographer in Edmonton decades ago. There is a sense of nostalgia in the sepia tones, the clothing and the background in this work, but the couple are alive and real.

She smiles as she looks at the photographer. He looks ahead as they walk along the street. No wonder Brunelle has kept the photo in her wallet all her life.

Mary Anne Brunelle’s work is on display at the Bridgewater
Family Health Clinic until the end of July.

A new show and new mediums to check out at the Shore Line Gallery, on now at the South Shore Regional Hospital.

Along with the watercolours and acrylics, there are three works that utilize glass to create an image.

Janet Thompson weaves glass strips the same way a weaver uses fibre to make cloth, with vertical warp strips interwoven with horizontal or weft strips. The glass ribbons are wide, imagine pappardelle, and colourful. Some are translucent, others solid, and some have other colours running through them. These works are sculptural.

The ribbons curve and bulge as they weave in and out, light reflecting on their glossy surfaces.
Thompson has three pieces in the show: “Tides of Home”, “Waves by the Tide”, and “Healing Harbour Knits”, a witty reference to a couple of knitting needles included in it.

D. C, Maclean uses pencil and crayon on paper to create images that feel softly atmospheric yet precise. The air is clear in “Peggy’s Cove - Fall”, and sharp in “Burnt Cove Head, October”. The colour of the beach in “Burnt Cove Head” is a warm orange layered with the pale blue of a retreating tide.

Two figures head along the beach into the distance.

In “Upper LaHave, Sunset”, the water is a molten stream of orange, reflecting the last of the sunset above. Evening clouds are pushing into the sky and the riverbank is dark already.

Both these artists are part of the latest exhibition at Shore Line Gallery. Take some time to visit the show and enjoy the creativity on display there.
