An Art Collector’s Joy

/ Terrill Welch / Leave a comment

This week, these two Terrill Welch paintings are winging their way to a special home in Alberta, Canada. With gratitude, we offer congratulations to the art collector who is celebrating a milestone as she reaches towards her vision! When we asked the art collector about their selection of these two paintings, they replied that they were following their joy. Doesn’t that make you smile? 

SOLD – “Wabi Sabi Alley in Venice” by Terrill Welch, 20 x 16 inch oil on canvas.

Artist notes: Finding a quiet alley in Venice is not as easy as one might think. But over somewhere around the big fish market and then just a few more twist and turns and we are here. Window shutters slap open to the late morning while the clicking of shoes echo into the distance. The warmth softly radiates back to us off of the brick walls where the deep shade is still cool and welcoming. Venetia Italia, how many have wander into this wabi sabi alley of yours?

SOLD – “Future Fragments Study” by Terrill Welch, 10 x 8 inch acrylic and oil on gessobord.

Artist notes: I walked and wondered about what will remain as future fragments to rebuild upon? Will there be another fragile sense of wholeness and interwoven harmony? What did it feel like then? What does it feel like now? Are any bits reusable?

Here are the two paintings together shown in the Terrill Welch Gallery Pod…

New Terrill Welch by herself Publication

/ Terrill Welch / Leave a comment

Now published….. Terrill Welch by herself – Issue #5 Night Paintings and Spring Mud

“With fear in my eyes, I would look up and see a clattering snowshoe-removing mosquito about the size of a small elephant becoming airborne. I knew from experience that it was heading straight for any of my delicate exposed skin….” continued at the link below once you have subscribed…

Published on the 3rd Friday of each month “Terrill Welch by herself” is a new adventure in this paid subscription that accompanies my free “A Brush with Life” that is published on the 1st Friday of each month.

In addition to first access to many of my paintings, there are often stories, behind the scenes observation about my painting practice, sections on what I am watching and reading and anything else that seems important to share in my creative world.

It is a way to read my original content and learn about my original paintings without screen interruption or distractions. In this way, ”Terrill Welch By herself” is more like an eclectic book with pop-ups than anything else. I love curating and publishing each issue of both publications but “Terrill Welch by herself” has that extra rare undefinable something in its process.

If you haven’t checked out these publications yet, I encourage you to do so. Enjoy!

West Coast Sea Escape Show

/ Terrill Welch / 2 Comments

As the spring days really begin, we have a new “West Coast Sea Escape” show with paintings by Terrill Welch in the Terrill Welch Gallery Pod, OPEN DAILY 11-4 with extended hours 10-4 for the Made on Mayne Spring Tour April 7th – 8th at 428 Luff Rd, Mayne Island B.C. We look forward to your visits both online and in person to enjoy these seascape paintings that are showing until May 17, 2023 in our unique gallery pod in the woods.

Slipping out to the gallery pod every morning, we make sure everything is ready for your self browsing visit. If we are available, we do come out and say “hello”. However, the gallery pod is designed for walk in viewing and you are encouraged to go in and explore the art on your own. There are lists of artwork, QR codes to request purchase and telephone numbers to text or call for assistance.


The seascape painting “China Beach in Late February” on the top right is new and this is its first time being in a show. China Beach is on the southwest tip of Vancouver Island in British Columbia.


We are thrilled to have the large 40 x 60 inch seascape painting of Active Pass anchoring this show across the back of the gallery pod. The city seascape to its right is a newer painting interpreting a location in the Victoria B.C. area. 


These landscape paintings of the sea remind us of our constant relationship with both continuity and change with beginnings and endings overlapping in endless rhythms.

Here is a link to our private online gallery viewing room that shares current paintings showing in the Terrill Welch Gallery Pod https://www.artworkarchive.com/rooms/terrill-welch/59ce84

Enjoy and feel free to share with your family and friends. Bring them by to experience this unique gallery space that is here to warmly welcome you.
