Karen Hyndman, Anne Courser, Gina Giorgi, Nicole Collins. at will Irene 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 Lioness sale The Lioness Club will hold a yard sale on Wednesday, August 8th at Brandon's on Highway 21.
