Spring is here and it’s time for the Monday Bunch to present their annual “Show and Sale” of their paintings. Appearing Tuesday April 21st to Sunday, May 10th 2015 in the Pearl Ellis Gallery.

A meet and greet will be held with our artists in attendance Saturday April 25th from 1pm to 4pm.

Refreshments will be served We are expecting an exciting show. Although our membership dropped, several new members have joined.

We welcome and look forward to seeing work by: Barbara Martin is new to Comox. Previously she painted in Nelson, B.C. and also enjoyed yearly plein air workshops in Jasper, Alberta. Barbara attended art classes through Selkirk College and workshops through the West Kootenay Chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists. Bruce Martin has been involved with painting and drawing for most of his life. The great beauty of British Columbia and many years of hiking in the Canadian Rockies have been a source of inspiration for much of his work. Bruce works primarily in watercolour but also in acrylic and sumi ink. His paintings range from representational to pure abstract with the occasional blend of each and some mixed media thrown in to keep things exciting and open to the unknown. Althea White – Watercolours are a fairly new medium for her to express her love of colours. Both fabric and watercolours are a source of fun and creativity to examine various subjects. She loves to blend colours, mix different colour combinations and to explore the colour wheel. She is still challenged in changing the regular colour choices for darks or lights in order to get a sense of reality in a subject: for example – a brilliant turquoise to illustrate a bright shiny area Some of the familiar artists are still with the Monday Bunch so look for new work by Daphne Borden, Sharon Lennox, Bev Johnson and Bev’s daughter Colleen who is showing great talent “one to track”! Sharon’s recent trip to Africa enabled her to take photos up close of animals and as a result has produced pictures using Scratch Board, a newly discovered technique,has satisfied her need for detail requiring multiple layers of scratching resulting in “almost alive images” a very detailed work – worth seeing.

The Monday Bunch have been meeting every Monday from September to May at the Lion’s Den from 10am to 2pm located on Nordin Street under the Pearl Ellis Gallery. The group has always maintained a great deal of enthusiasm over the past 35 years and any suggestions or new ideas are appreciated. The door is always open and we welcome anyone to drop in and visit with artists at work.
