A new show and new mediums to check out at the Shore Line Gallery, on now at the South Shore Regional Hospital.

Along with the watercolours and acrylics, there are three works that utilize glass to create an image.

Janet Thompson weaves glass strips the same way a weaver uses fibre to make cloth, with vertical warp strips interwoven with horizontal or weft strips. The glass ribbons are wide, imagine pappardelle, and colourful. Some are translucent, others solid, and some have other colours running through them. These works are sculptural.

The ribbons curve and bulge as they weave in and out, light reflecting on their glossy surfaces.
Thompson has three pieces in the show: “Tides of Home”, “Waves by the Tide”, and “Healing Harbour Knits”, a witty reference to a couple of knitting needles included in it.

D. C, Maclean uses pencil and crayon on paper to create images that feel softly atmospheric yet precise. The air is clear in “Peggy’s Cove - Fall”, and sharp in “Burnt Cove Head, October”. The colour of the beach in “Burnt Cove Head” is a warm orange layered with the pale blue of a retreating tide.

Two figures head along the beach into the distance.

In “Upper LaHave, Sunset”, the water is a molten stream of orange, reflecting the last of the sunset above. Evening clouds are pushing into the sky and the riverbank is dark already.

Both these artists are part of the latest exhibition at Shore Line Gallery. Take some time to visit the show and enjoy the creativity on display there.

This month’s exhibit at the Shore Line Gallery includes paintings with quintessential Nova Scotia elements: fishing boats, wharves, and the sea.

Ivan Carey was the Featured Artist last month. His “Nobody Home”, shows a fishing boat passing by an old house on the shore. It looks abandoned. Shingles are missing from the roof and part of an outer wall appears to have collapsed. What was probably an idyllic spot at one time now has a nostalgic feel.

Mike Hatcher has two paintings in the show. For anyone who enjoys the ocean, his “Morning Surf” and “The Rock” will be an instant reminder of the beauty of our coastline.

“Morning Surf” captures the moment a wave breaks as it rolls ashore. “The Rock” shows a granite outcrop along the coast. The grey of the rock contrasts with the golden browns of the seaweed growing on it, grey and gold surrounded by the blue of the sea.

Dennis Curran is also fascinated by the waves coming ashore. His watercolour “Viridian and Blue” is named for the colours of a wave crashing onto rocks. It has that fresh feel of an ocean breeze.

“Tiny Harbour” is another of Curran’s watercolours. He uses the medium to beautiful effect to show the route the ocean takes to a small staging where a fishing boat is tied up.

A different fishing boat plows its way through the waves in one of Greg Van De Moortele’s highly coloured pictures. “Heading Home” is one of two works of his in the show. The other, “Nesting” is an overhead view of waves rolling onto a beach.

The nest belongs to a couple of seagulls who occupy a cliff far above the waves that curl eternally to shore.

A final look at seaside buildings at the Shore Line Gallery is by Daphne Strowbridge. Her simple painting “Shacks at Blue Rocks” should be familiar to anyone living on the South Shore. Rust coloured huts sit above a wharf that juts into the sea.

With better weather people will be out driving along the coast. Many of the scenes they will see have already been portrayed by the artists at the Shore Line Gallery.

Come in and compare what you see with the artists’ renderings. This show continues until the end of the month.

There are some new artists at the Shore Line Gallery to check out.

Using different media they offer a fresh take on familiar themes…like D. C. MacLean’s “LaHave River, Autumn”. The artist uses marker, pencil and crayon to portray a view from the river’s edge.

The strong verticals of three trees cut through the horizontal river lines. The opposite river bank adds its own horizontal feel, with the clouds above scudding on their own parallel course.

Louise Hollingsworth’s “Have Patients” is unique in this month’s
exhibit. A dramatic piece that is sculptural, with white faces mounted on a black background.

The faces are three dimensional and resemble masks. Each has its own expression but do not seem to be actual portraits.

The title is a puzzle. Are the faces different expressions of patience, or are they patients waiting to see someone?

April Naugler has exhibited with Shore Line before. She has two works in this month’s show. Both are abstracts in resin on wood.

Highly glossy, they look like sediment swirling in a river or a segment of a rocky deposit. One is called “Lava”, the other is “Purple Explosion”. Both are vehicles for imagination and contemplation.

You can see these works at the Shore Line Gallery until the end
of the month.

The Shore Line Gallery has a new show and a new Feature Artist. She is Kathryn Price.

She lives on a small hobby farm outside New Germany and started painting seriously when she retired twenty six years ago.

Kathryn says she has always liked art, visiting galleries and cathedrals to look at paintings on her travels. Mostly self taught, she has taken the occasional course at the Nova
Scotia College of Art and Design.

Mostly though, she has been inspired by Mary Morey, who is part of an art group which meets every Monday morning at the Union Square Hall.

Enthralled by Morey’s work, Price
says Morey encouraged her to keep painting and exhibit her work.

Like Morey, Price paints in oils. She likes the medium because the colours stay true, unlike acrylics which she says darken as they dry. Also oils let her return to a painting
later to make changes.

The works on display at Shore Line are mostly landscapes. Price says many of the subjects are scenes she finds on her hikes. She takes a small camera with her to record what she sees so she can paint a scene later, like “Out Exploring” and “Summer Pleasures”. Both are wide vistas of water, forest and sky.

“Early Morning on Cape Chignecto” shows the rocky terrain and headlands of that part of the province.

Price loves nature. Trees are a big favourite. Her “Mother and Daughter” shows two maples. The leaves in one are gradually changing colour while the smaller tree is totally red. Another favourite is the little bunchberry plant. In her
painting “Canadian Bunchberry”, the plants are shown later in the season with their familiar red berries. Price loves the contrast between the red and the green.

“Magical Homestead” seems different from her other paintings. It has many of the things found in those works - landscape, sky and a wide view, but it is also a work of
imagination. Price says it was inspired by her place but the huge sky with its dramatic red clouds looming over a small house nestled in the trees, gives this painting an emotional edge. Security, isolation, eternal.

You can find Kathryn Price’s work this month at the Shore Line Gallery located in the main hallway of the South Shore Regional Hospital.

April showers bring forth flowers…and while that’s true for the crocus and daffodils popping up these days in our gardens, it is also true at the Shore Line Gallery.

Several artists celebrate flowers in their art this month. Anne Cameron even calls her painting of apple blossoms “Spring Blooms”.

Daphne Strowbridge also credits the season in “Think Spring”, which has a large bunch of flowers spilling out of a vase.

“A Rose in June”, is also by her. It shows a few stems of pink roses in a well executed glass jar of water.

And finally, a close up of a summer favourite by Ann MacKenzie. “Peony” fills the frame with a mass of pink and white petals.

A promise of flowers to come, all at the Shore Line Gallery this month!
