Large oil paintings of trees, mostly arbutus trees, grace the walls of the Terrill Welch Gallery from Friday, May 18, 2018 to Sunday, July 23, 2018. A very few smaller plein air sketches and studies provide balance and perspective to these larger canvases.
Trees: As we breathe is an invitation, a reminder to our human connect to trees for our very breath. Rendered in each brushstroke is Canadian west coast landscape artist Terrill Welch’s passion and pure pleasure in trees.
The paintings are about the elegance of this often forgotten relationship as we race towards deadlines, commitments, dreams, goals and personal expectations for human achievement.
This show is about giving a nod, taking a pause and being like the trees we so rely on for life. This show is about love, beauty and aging in place. This show is about loss, companionship and spirals of time.
The paintings in this show can be viewed in the online gallery collection by the same name “Trees: As we breathe” HERE.

Trees: As we breathe is a special and very personal show to me. I hope you enjoy it both online and in-person.
Lovely work, Terrill.
Thank you Frank! It was a great show and I am looking forward to some of these large arbutus tree paintings going into the Galiano Library solo exhibition in September for the “Between the Islands and the Salish Sea.”
Wow. You are kicking some huge goals, sounds like. Bravo to you, Terrill. Best luck with it.
Thanks Frank! I have been having a great year actually and thoroughly enjoying it.
