Rachel Clark Hall - Rugged Beauty

Well, her paintings are rugged and she is a beauty! I think you'll agree, but back to the paintings now...The window is full of late summer memories, the old pump is just begging you to start pushing at the handle in anticipation of a refreshing drink of water tumbling out. The lounge chair is beckoning I think a good book is beside it. Exuberant, rugged partly abstracted paintings that have been doing well in Toronto galleries lately, we welcome back Rachel to Dragonfly and ask her to up her prices! whoa, some bargains here! Also in the same palate, Rachel has made some dynamic purse fobs/keyrings/necklaces. They look great in the window with Karen Gunna's leather sac bags.

Found Art Festival

Back by popular demand, the Found Art Festival is around the corner...July8 & 9th We are starting to get in new work from your favourites, Carmen Hickson, Dogbite, Rachel Clark Hall. Just so you know, this photo of 1955 artwork is from MOCA in LA, the artist is Robert Rauschenberg ...hmmn This coming window will be very interesting with button jewellery, sculpture , paintings and some larger items from Jim Reed, but in the meantime, it is the last day for Julia Veenstra's rich acrylics. She'll be taking them to a show in Hamilton. Jean Loney has the window now with beautiful new mosaics, some with 24 karat gold! Sideroads magazine did a wonderful article on Robin Pouw with lots of great photos of Robin and her jewellery.

People are responding to our mantra of re-use, recycle, make beautiful, re purpose, make smiles!
Thanks to Rachel Clark Hall who did a demo during the opening of the founders festival. She painted found hunks of wood and even bark.
