London artists show displays
A number of artists
from London are
currently "setting up
shop" in Clan Gregor
Square in Bayfield on
Saturdays from 10 a.m.
until 8 p.m.
Sixteen artists banded
together to publicize their
work and fast aturday
seven, were in the park to
display their paintings
for sale. Their group calls
itself the Professional
Artists' League.
There were paintings
as local as the abandoned
house on Highway 4 at
Brucefield, by Maurice
Siverns and as far away
as Peggy's Cove on
Canada's east coast by
Rene Verleyen, and Banff
and the Rockies in the
west by Taisa Walvius for
Seekers of Canadian
scenes. Taisa, an art
student at the -University
of Western Ontario had
on display collages of the
mountains and by con-
trast floral sprays. One
that caught my eye
showed full-blown tulips.
Martin Zimmer's
watercolours painted in
and around London
showed his interest in fine
detail. The watercolour is
perhaps the best medium
for this; consequently it
is perhaps the most
difficult form. 'If you
make a mistake, you've
had it", Mr. Zimmer
said.* His Kingston
Harbour with its yacht
club building _and
Sailboats .was an in-
teresting composition. -
For those with -an in-
ternational taste there
was a lovely painting in
the Flemish style by
Rene Verleyen. There
were oils by Manos
Rovithis of buildings near
the Acropolis, in Athens
and of fishing 'boats
moored in a.Greek Island a
Silver point drawing by
John Kinnear required an
explanation. Actually it is
a very old technique
practised in medieva
and Renaissance art. It i„s
done.with a pointed rod of
silver which, when drawn
across paper that has
been specially coated
with white pigment,
leaves minute particles of
the metal embedded - in
the surface, producing a
grayish line that becomes
darker in time as the
silver tarnishes. Kin-
near's watercolors of
Irish_ cabins, •clouds,
green hills and valleys
are delightful.
The seventh
representative of the
Professional., Artists'
League who was in the
park last Saturday was
Bill Johnson. He is a
salesman as well as artist
with "an innovative
pproach 'to .establishing
new clients", which has
resulted in exceptional
success .• ,with several
large U.S. and Canadian
corporations. His work
ranges from small sets of
three co-ordinated ab-
stracts to very realistic
oil portraits and land-
scapes. He has seven
paintings in 'the National
War Museum and ab-
stract prints from one
end of the country to the
other.
He believes that if
you're good and believe
in your own stuff and are
not reluctant to work at
selling it, you don't have
to rely on grants and
subsides to survive as an
artist. He has his own
silk screen printing
equipment and does all
his own framing. He bus
glass in bulk and bought
half a tone of aluminum
cove.
Fine yacht docks
A trim, freshly painted
blue and white pleasure
craft docked in Bayfield
harbour last weekend on
it way back from
Tobermory to Erieau. On
board were ,Mr. and Mrs.
George, Plaxton of
London, Ontario, who
were long on p' atience as
they answered questions
and invited curious
visitors aboard. Mrs.
Plaxton is a_ native of
Victoria, B.C. and is
familiar with the
waterways on the west
coast as well as the Great.
Lakes. The fine fur-
nishings and sleeping
accommodation for four
were admired by the
adults, while the radar
weren attracted the Star -
trek and Moonraker set.
The keel -bottomed
boat is of very special'
interest to old-timers in
Bayfield. Its name is the
'Harradell' and it was a
familiar sight in the
harbour here many years
ago. It was owned and
operated then as a fishing
