Wingham artist conjures 'A Trick of the Light' in Blyth Gallery
The Blyth Festival Art
Gallery's final exhibition
of the 2015 season hon-
ours a local artist, teacher
and supporter of the arts.
He began creating art in
high school and has fond
memories of bringing his
sketchbooks and art mate-
rials along with him on
wilderness canoe trips
with his father.
Greg Sherwood's inter-
est in science has shaped
his life as an artist. After
leaving high school, he
first studied geology and
received his bachelor
degree. He returned to
university to study art and
received his honours
bachelor of fine arts
degree and later his bach-
elor of education. Those
qualifications have served
him well as he worked as a
painter and educator in
Huron County for the last
27 years. His paintings are
in collections throughout
Canada and the US. He
recently retired from his
position as the well-
respected arts department
head at F E Madill Sec-
ondary School, in Wing -
ham, where he currently
resides with his wife.
His exhibition, entitled
"A Trick of the Light", is a
collection of both large -
and small-scale oil paint-
ings of rugged landscapes,
waterways and sweeping
skies from vistas in Huron
and Bruce Counties and
the Maritimes. A typical
scene might show a
freshly harvested grain
field with large bales, an
angry sky with brooding
clouds and a few cows
thrown in for good
measure.
Sherwood offers this
explanation of the exhibi-
tion title, "'A Trick of the
Light' is a phrase that
strikes me as an apt
description of what paint-
ing is. In many ways paint-
ers deal in illusion, creat-
ing representations of the
real world. When done
well, this illusion of reality
can often contain a truth
that may not be evident in
the actual scene being
represented. Perhaps this
is the real "trick". This
show features places that
are important to me, in
particular those that speak
to a sense of place which
goes beyond geography."
The viewer is invited to
think about the interac-
tions between people and
their environment and the
effects of the seasons on
