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…

Terrill Welch Gallery Spotlight on artist Jody Waldie 

/ Terrill Welch / Leave a comment

Jody Waldie has a wide range of subjects rendered mostly in oils on her canvases. There is something about standing in front of one of her works that tells you that each brushstroke has been thoughtfully considered and then applied freely without constraint. I have had the pleasure of seeing her develop an artwork from sketches, colour studies and underpaintings with each stage resolving additional painting challenges that all painters must face if they want to keep developing their work.

A viewer can witness the strong bones in a finished painting of her drawing skills that underly her vision for a piece. We are fortunate to currently have three of her paintings showing between the two Terrill Welch Gallery spaces. 

ISLAND TIME ART is showing “Autumn Bouquet” and 

“Strawberry in Sunshine” 

in the physical art room and online HERE until October 17, 2022.

In addition, the Terrill Welch Gallery Pod has the pleasure of hosting the guest painting “Winter Walk on Glen Echo Trail” by Jody Waldie in the physical gallery and online HERE until October 3, 2022. 

Also, Jody Waldie has a feature interview by Cherie Thiessen in the September/October 2022, vol 17, issue 5, of the AQUA GULF ISLANDS LIVING magazine on pages 20-21 if you wish to learn more about the life of this Mayne Island artist. 

We invite you to enjoy these paintings in person or in our online gallery as much as we do and possibly consider adding one to your art collection.
