This week two things to share.
First, there is a major exhibition of creative work by all members of my family on view at the Art Gallery of Calgary. There is a gallery each for the paintings of my father, my mother and myself as well as a display of my brother's frames. This exhibition will be on until August and the opening celebrations are Friday April 29th from 7 until 10. Here are some links:http://www.artgallerycalgary.org/exhibitions/http://mimesisfinearts.com/HTML/paintings-n.htmhttp://jhff.ca/index.htmlhttp://www.wallacegalleries.com/index.php/component/option,com_gallery/id,31/task,artist/Second, here are some images of a new portrait. It is 26x46" and will be on display with her brother's portrait at the Weiss Gallery for a few weeks.
The compositions include still lives of items with personal meaning to the family and they are oil on board. Usually commissions go straight to the home without a public viewing and so this is a rare opportunity to see them live. I'm very grateful to the family for allowing me to show them at the Galleryhere is a link to the portrait of her brother:http://janinehallstudio.wordpress.com/2009/11/26/new-portrait/That's all for now but please check back next week to know about the opening of my brother Jarvis's new Art Gallery here in Calgary.peace and love,janine
