Society of Canadian Painters: Bill Schwarz

"Camp Brewer", 30 x 40", oil

We are pleased to announce that Bill Schwarz has had his painting, "Camp Brewer" accepted as part of the 49th International Exhibition of the Society of Canadian Painters being held at The Papermill Gallery in Toronto, Ontario. The exhibition opened on September 7th.

Leslie Watts Prints

Leslie Watts has just produced a number of small, limited edition drypoint prints. Without a proper printing press in her studio, but with an interest in trying printmaking, Leslie decided to try using a heavy plastic as her engraving surface (engravers traditionally use a metal plate - often copper) and a pasta machine as her press. The results are outstanding. Field Mouse, Duck, Pigeon and Path are all available in limited numbers from our gallery.

"Field Mouse", Drypoint on paper, 3 x 3" plate size

"Duck", Drypoint on paper, 5 1/2 x 4" plate size

"Pigeon", Drypoint on paper, 6 3/8 x 4 3/4" plate size

"Path", Drypoint on paper, 4 1/2 x 6" plate size

It has  been painted with a base coat of black paint highlighted with interference paint with mica chips on the top feathers and it is holding a beautiful piece of quartz crystal in its beak.
