Bouquets of Time: Featuring Still Life paintings by Terrill Welch

/ Terrill Welch / Leave a comment

Join us for a remarkable artistic experience at the Terrill Welch Gallery Pod, located at 428 Luff Rd, Mayne Island, British Columbia, Canada. The gallery proudly presents the “Bouquets of Time” exhibition, showcasing the enchanting world of still life paintings by renowned artist Terrill Welch. This evocative exhibition opens on Friday, September 13, 2024, and will be available for walk-in self-browsing daily from 11 AM to 4 PM.

The centerpiece of this event is Terrill Welch’s new “Summer of Flowers” series, a captivating collection inspired by the bouquets purchased bi-weekly from a local farmer. This artistic collaboration with nature introduces an element of chance and spontaneity, ensuring that each piece within the series exudes a unique charm reflective of the floral bounty available at the moment of creation. These paintings are imbued with the vibrancy and freshness of summer, inviting viewers to bask in their warmth and beauty.

Additionally, the exhibition features a selection of Terrill Welch’s still life paintings, depicting fruits and flowers from as far back as 2012. These works provide a well-rounded view of the artist’s evolving style and enduring fascination with the bounty of nature. Enhancing the exhibition further are two newly debuted shell paintings and three plein air landscape paintings, providing a delightful contrast and expansion to the floral theme.

In total, 24 paintings are on display, including 21 oil paintings on canvas and linen board, and three plein air paintings in acrylic on board. Each piece offers a glimpse into the artist’s meticulous process and keen eye for detail, resulting in a collection that is both cohesive and dynamic.

Don’t miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in the vibrant, sun-drenched world of Terrill Welch’s “Bouquets of Time” exhibition. Experience the delicate interplay of chance and artistry that brings each painting to life and discover the timeless beauty found within the simple elegance of flowers and fruits.

Mark your calendars and make your way to the Terrill Welch Gallery Pod starting September 13, 2024, to explore this radiant celebration of summer through the eyes of a masterful artist.

Season’s Greetings and Happy Holidays!

/ Terrill Welch / Leave a comment

We wish each and every one of you all the very best of the holidays as we hold space for peace and, as always, do what we can.

Last evening my husband, David, and I went to see the lights at our Mayne Island Japanese Memorial Garden. I thought I would share a few memory images with you as my way of adding a little magic to your holidays. This garden has been designed and is maintained and continually developed by volunteers supported through donations. I love coming here any time of year but particularly when the lights are up during the winter holidays.

I find the child in me waking up with wonder in her heart. ❤️

So much care has been taken to enhance the natural beauty of this garden during these sparkly evenings.

The newly painted red bridge couldn’t possibly look any better. Thank you to everyone who is involved in making this special Mayne Island experience happen! Amazing! 

If you happen to be on Mayne Island between now and January 1st, it is worth taking a walk through our magical Mayne Island Japanese Memorial Garden. Open nightly by donation (weather permitting) between 5-7 pm.

Wherever you are, no matter how challenging times may be, I hope you can find a tiny glimpse of magic in an ordinary day.

With warmth and kindness as always,

Terrill 👩‍🎨🎨❤️

P.s. There are new paintings released in the online gallery with more coming in the New Year. The Terrill Welch Gallery Pod show at 428 Luff Rd on Mayne Island is open daily from 11-4 for walk in self-browsing except for Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. I have been update our website and the online gallery can now be found by clicking in the HOME page or the online gallery tab. Two options! Enjoy!

Introducing Just Art Calendar 2024

/ Terrill Welch / Leave a comment

Just the art please! Allow us to turn the page on the first day of each month in the New Year.


UPDATE APRIL 2024: “Just Art Calendar” has been renamed “Feature Painting for (Month Year)”. The impetus for the name change is to more accurately indicate what you are receiving in the email (with no mention of what you might be missing since we have stopped producing calendars 😉).

We are piloting a new idea for 2024. Our relationships with calendars has changed over the years. Most of us now use electronic calendars. Still, we love the art that comes with the more traditional hardcopy calendar where each new month brings with it an image of another artwork. However, galloping inflation has vigorously impacted the printing and shipping costs of such calendars. So we came up with a solution to bring you the best part of our art calendar as a gift! What if we sent all Terrill Welch newsletter subscribers an email with the featured “Terrill Welch painting” on the first day of each month? We think this idea just might become a highly valued addition to your subscription. And there is more…

BONUS: Paid subscription holders to “Terrill Welch by herself” can also request one higher resolution image of a painting that is featured in the Just Art Calendar 2024, at anytime during the calendar year. This image can then be used to purchase a print in a format of their choice at a local print shop for the requester’s personal use. Each request will come with a limited license giving permission for this specific purpose.

How does this sound!? Great idea, right!? 

If you are not already subscribed to our free quarterly “A Brush with Life” do so now to receive your monthly Just Art Calendar 2024 image of a “Terrill Welch painting” in your email inbox as outlined above.


Subscribe at: https://terrill-welch.ghost.io

Please note: If you are already a subscriber to our “A Brush with Life” no action is required. Your Just Art Calendar 2024 is already for you to receive on the first of each month.

And, if you wish, up grade to our paid subscription to “Terrill Welch by herself” monthly publication and receive the additional option of a limited license to print one of these calendar images in 2024.

Hot Tip! Those that are subscribed before November 30, 2023 will receive a bonus Sampler Just Art Calendar on December 1, 2023. 

We are always thrilled to find new ways to bring our serious fans and art collectors a chance to enjoy “Terrill Welch paintings”. We hope you enjoy this new idea as much as we enjoy offering it to you! 

Feel free to share our new Just Art Calendar offer as you wish. We always love growing our international community of art lovers with you.

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.

BEYOND New Group Show

/ Terrill Welch / Leave a comment

From 10 – 5 Thursday to Monday, February 7, 2023 to April 17, 2023 the ISLAND TIME ART room at 492 Dalton Road on Mayne Island in British Columbia, Canada will present “Beyond” with original paintings of various sizes by Jody Waldie, Jennifer Peers, Glenda King, Maeva Lightheart and Terrill Welch. In this diverse show, most of these recent paintings are slightly beyond the usual expressions for each painter with many leaning towards abstraction and one towards extreme realism. These works are outliers or works from the margins of these artists which are being given space to be seen and appreciated.

Take a quick one minute video tour through the room…


These artworks can also be viewed and purchased online from one of our private viewing room at:

https://www.artworkarchive.com/rooms/terrill-welch/d2b71a

Each show is carefully selected and curated by artist and gallery owner Terrill Welch for consideration by the gallery’s local and international art collectors.

Best 12 out of 32 New Terrill Welch Paintings in 2022

/ Terrill Welch / Leave a comment

Each year I like to review which are my best paintings painted and released in that calendar year. Sometimes this selection is easy and other times it can be more challenging to decide. This is a more challenging review of 32 new paintings in 2022 with a wider range than usual of approaches. However, a decision has been made! I ended up choosing 10 paintings, including a diptych, and one bonus painting. (So there are 12 separate canvases in total)

View all paintings in detail from our online private viewing room at: https://www.artworkarchive.com/rooms/terrill-welch/a5a548

Please note that many of these paintings have already sold and are in private collections. However there are still a few excellent works to choose from and, with a bit of luck, more will be coming available in 2023.

Now I am off to consider my intention for 2023 and my new series “Thriving in Place”. More soon!

Happy New Year!

New Gallery Pod for the Win

/ Terrill Welch / 2 Comments

Finding homes for paintings is a pleasurable task anytime. However, finding homes using the best tools available is even more enjoyable. There are a few advantages to collecting art directly from an independent artist for art collectors. I usually have most of the available inventory readily accessible and not in one of five or so different galleries that you will then need to contact directly. I can easily pull together a private viewing room for a specific size or subject request for online detailed viewing. I have the independent gallery space to bring that online private viewing room selection into a physical gallery space for viewing those paintings on very short notice. And this is what came about yesterday.


A request to view specific works in a size range for a specific subject came in via email first thing yesterday morning. I replied with the offer to create a private viewing room of available paintings that met their requirements and have them hanging in the gallery pod for final decision by 1:00 pm. The art collector thought this would work well. They came by at 3:30 pm, made their decisions easily as they had already reviewed the work online before coming. I packaged up the two paintings they chose and sent them on their way with an invoice to follow via email at 5:00 pm. An online payment was received just before 6:00 pm. We did it! All done and a very happy art collector. 

In between, I still did my social media posts and put up a new blog post.


It is on days like this when I can turn on a dime to satisfy the requests of art collectors that I am so thankful to be an independent artist with a great online gallery show space and inventory/invoicing tools with Artwork Archive and my very own gallery show space at our front gate. These two online and in-person art gallery spaces work amazingly well and seamlessly together. Here are the two paintings that are now off into a new home of their own…

SOLD – The Woodcutter’s Stash by Terrill Welch 16 x 12 inch acrylic on gessobord.

Artist notes: Starting from plein air, I work on this painting for several time over an eight month period until it finally felt complete and the harmony between the woodcutter’s stash and the landscape itself held just the right amount of familiarity and tension. The driftwood had accumulated because of heavy winter storms,and flooding from atmospheric rivers the previous November. The type and intensity of storms were cause by changes in our climate. The woodcutter was able to selvage the aftermath and put it to good use. A very thin silver lining in otherwise disastrous circumstances.

SOLD – An Early Spring Sea by Terrill Welch 8 x 10 inch acrylic on gessobord

Artist notes: The weather was unstable with about an hour from start to finish between showers. Yet, the sea was steady and true, in a chameleon sort of fashion, as the tide receded. A good afternoon for being a plein air painter.

Our sincere congratulations to the art collectors! May they enjoy these paintings for many years to come. 

Please note: The Gallery Pod will be open by arrangement only from December through to sometime in February. I am around and it only takes a minute to go turn on the lights in the gallery pod which will have a flow-show in it during this time or if you have specific requests of paintings you would like to consider, I am more than happy to hang these for you as well.
