Wellington Artists’ Gallery at 6142 County Road 29 southeast of here featuring the paintings of Beryl Dawson in the lower gallery Aug. 1 to Sept. 26
As a member of the Elora Fergus Studio Tour, Dawson is featured during the period leading to the tour.
She is a self taught representational painter. This year Beryl is featuring various groupings of her work, much of it not shown before.
Her passion for Canada’s far north continues to highlight her new work.
She is also exhibiting work of the Bruce Peninsula, another of florals, and some new work of the Fergus-Elora area.
Represented in her portfolio are historic buildings, flora and fauna, and landmark landscapes of different regions.
The gallery also presents Rustic Beauties, a selection of the works of William Band, its guest artist from Aug. 31 to Oct. 3.
A graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto, Band pursued a successful career in commercial art as an illustrator. He is now doing what he likes best – painting. He is known for architectural drawings and paintings of pretentious old family homes and cottages, many incorporating detailed images of vehicles of yesteryear.
Others of his works are from travels: either in his canoe on northern lakes or in Scotland, Ireland, or Canada.
He teaches workshops, and sketches on location in small rural towns.
Everyone is invited to the opening reception on Sept. 3 from 2 to 4 p.m. For details please visit www.wellingtonartistsgallery.ca.
