Milton Canadian Champion
Colourful, eclectic and memorable easily define the works that are on display at the Milton Centre for the Arts Holcim Gallery this month.
Group of Twelve — Tuesday Painters who are members of Fine Arts Society of Milton (FASM) — have their works on display until June 23.
Years ago when FASM was in its infancy, some of the artists began a weekly paint-in. They wanted to provide mentoring for people who wanted to learn more as well as paint in company. That group became the Tuesday Painters who meet at Grace Anglican Church every week for painting time and a friendly lunch. They also help each other regularly by exchanging ideas and critiques.
“I defy anyone to go over there (Holcim Gallery) and not find something they like,” said Neil McCormick, show organizer, who has five works on display. “I’m pleased with the outcome…there’s some abstract, some landscaping, some street scenes – a really eclectic selection.”
The show features artwork by: Shirley Dills, Suzanne Garceau, Cristina Garza, Joan Hatten, Merv Kaye, Helen Lennon, McCormick, Janice McDermott, Roisin Nelson, Jean Rivers, Donna Sanderson and Diane Will.
“I think we all share a love of what we are doing,” McCormick said. “The artists come from all over — Guelph, Georgetown, Burlington, Port Credit and of course Milton.”
