#FortLangleyPaperMoon - Carrie Davis painting

7/27/2014

0 Comments

 
My latest painting featuring an abstract portrait of the owner the Fort Langley 'Paper Moon".......Carrie Davis. My son Keith Galick is a portrait photographer. He started "Langley Portraits".... a personal photography project showcasing the unique people of our home town Langley, British Columbia. It is done in his spare time and is a way for him to give back to the people of my community. Basically, it is just Keith taking photos of interesting people, and then posting that work to this blog.

I loved this image that Keith shot of his friend, Carrie Davis, owner of the local Fort Langley "Paper Moon" and decided to paint it. One of my instructors told me to always challenge myself and I have to say this painting was definitely a challenge. Not only the muted darks, the lights, the semi portrait but the layers and layers of colours and the reflective image of the car passing by the window challenged my abilities as an impressionistic artist as well as there is just 'so much going on' in Keith's photo. I had a lot of fun painting this as well as lots of hours of frustration but in the end I am happy with it and at least I gave it my best shot, learned a lot, and spent hours and hours painting. Thank you Keith! Here is the original photo that I worked from.

Picasso of the Northwest dies at 91

Guy Anderson......known as the "Picasso of the Northwest" dies at 91. 

Thank you to Dave Cassera owner of 'Cassera Gallery" in LaConner for introducing me to the talents of one of the four 'Mystic Painters'.........Guy Anderson.  Wow......what a special day to finally see Dave Cassera's galley in LaConner.  I met Dave last year when he showed up at my gallery in Fort Langley.  LaConner is similar to Fort Langley and I have so wanted to see his gallery since meeting him.  We were certainly not disappointed.  Not only were we surprised at the quality of the artwork but by also by the diversity and the fusion of ancient tribal art with modern abstract..........so well done.  LOVE IT!  Dave also has a gallery in New York and Gastown.  I am so blessed to have met him.  Here is a sampling of his offering which include the late Guy Anderson's abstract paintings.  What a treat!  Thank you Dave!  Hope to see you in the Fort soon and congrats on the new baby boy.  How exciting!

Last year I was commissioned by the owner of the popular Porter's Bistro Coffee & Tea House to paint this historic building for his wife as a Christmas present.  They loved it so much they now use it as their logo on their website as well as recently launching a fine wine with my painting as their label.  First run is almost sold out.  This local bistro hosts quality live entertainment Thursday, Friday & Saturday evenings along with fine cuisine.
