Joseph Plaskett once wrote about Molly Lamb Bobak's paintings: "Art is her life and her expression. Her oils of people in crowds suggest an expansive, even extroverted spirit. Life is celebrated as a carnival - the pulse of life is beating, the game is being played, the drama is enacted." ✨

Whether it's a big crowd or a lone couple on the beach, she was always able to make life shine through. ☀️

Pictured is Untitled (Long Beach, Tofino, BC), a 24 x 36 in oil on canvas by Molly Lamb Bobak. See it and more as part of our Bobak retrospective, Throughout the Decades, until June 6! 🌊

Pictured is Heron, Nijo Castle, Kyoto, an 11 x 14 in pigment print photograph on Awagami Kozo paper by Peter Thompson. ⛩️

A special detail about the paper Peter uses here: it's a family-owned papermaking factory on the island of Shikoku, Japan, and compared to other flatter materials, the gentle texture of this paper allows for the intricate details of the photographs to shine through. A must-see in person! ✨

Peter's show Sojourn opens in the upstairs gallery this Friday, May 29, from 5-7 pm, as part of the PhotoEast photography festival. ☀️

A wonderful thing about beautiful art is that it can uplift and bring a sense of goodness to your day. ☀️

There's nothing quite like taking in a complex crowd scene or arrangement of flowers, knowing someone (with lots of study and practice behind them) painted it because they thought it was compelling. And now we get to enjoy it! ✨

Pictured is Untitled (Pink Cineraria with Large Leaves), a 16 x 22 in watercolour by Molly Lamb Bobak. See it now at the gallery! 🌸
