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.

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.

Eight New Terrill Welch Landscape Paintings Just Released

/ Terrill Welch / Leave a comment

My hand grips the pliers to loosen the lid on a tube of French Ultramarine and I squeeze it liberally into a mound on the upper left hand side of my palette. It has been a productive month and there has been a lot of squeezing of various pigments suspended in walnut oil. Each of these paintings has a story and the landscapes are all significant and intimately familiar to me. The results are satisfying and I am ready to share them with you. 


Our Mayne Island fall tour is again happening this year. It is a weather-dependent event for day visitors from Vancouver Island and Vancouver but still a great day of island meandering if you are game for an adventure. 


The Agriculture Hall and our Community Centre both will be bursting with artist and makers as well as many open studios and small galleries to browse. I will have the gallery pod open an extra hour early for the studio tour days starting 10-4 on Friday November 10th and finishing Sunday November 12th. I will have a few studio tour maps available and my regular studio signs will be up so you can find your way. Also, the paintings in the gallery pod will be available for viewing online as usual. Come on by and say “hello” and, with a bit of luck, on the Saturday and Sunday I will also be able to invite you into the house to see the studio area and additional work on show in our home. 


The Terrill Welch Gallery Pod is generally open daily from 11-4 at 428 Luff Rd. for walk-in self browsing on Mayne Island in British Columbia, Canada. All current paintings showing can always be viewed in our private viewing room at: https://www.artworkarchive.com/rooms/terrill-welch/59ce84


Never Miss the Good bits! Sign Up Now for the curated editorial Terrill Welch newsletter HERE published quarterly on the 1st Friday of the month with an optional paid monthly subscription issue “Terrill Welch by herself” also available on the 3rd Friday of each month.

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…


Enjoy your weekend and if you happen to be in Sidney British Columbia, there is a Regional Southern Gulf Island show opening at the ArtSea Gallery at 9565 5th St. from 2-4 and after this, the show will be available for viewing 10 – 4 every day until May 11th. There is work in this show by our gallery artists Glenda King, Maeva Lightheart, Jody Waldie and Terrill Welch.

Also, the Terrill Welch Gallery Pod is open daily from 11-4 at 428 Luff Rd. on Mayne Island in British Columbia, Canada. All current paintings showing can always be viewed in our private viewing room at: https://www.artworkarchive.com/rooms/terrill-welch/59ce84

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…

https://terrill-welch.ghost.io/terrill-welch-by-herself-issue-5-night-paintings-and-spring-mud/

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!

Seven Savvy Reasons to Purchase a Terrill Welch Painting Right Now

/ Terrill Welch / Leave a comment

For every purchase, online or in person, of an original Terrill Welch painting during the opening days of Gallery Pod between September 1st and 6th there is a possible savings [NO LONGER AVAILABLE] on your purchase. The amount of your saving will be disclosed on your invoice and has been determined by chance. If you are already a collector of Terrill Welch Gallery paintings, then your art collector savings still applies in addition to our opening savings.

Seven Savvy (and slightly cheeky) Reasons For Purchasing During Our Opening Savings

One – Our home needs a (or another) Terrill Welch painting on that wall. (Of course it does!)

Two – I cancelled one of my trips for this summer. I can do this! (Sorry to hear about your trip but great idea!)

Three – With the current pace of sales for Terrill’s original paintings, the price is going to go up again soon. (Good guess!)

Four – Winter is coming and it will be nice to think about spring/summer/fall on Mayne Island. (Winter comes every year but we never like to argue with our art collectors.)

Five – Artists require our ongoing support to keep bringing us new work. (So very true this!)

Six – It is better than leaving the money in the bank because this way at least I can look at it. (Okay, we’ve heard this one many times but we will let you have it.)

Seven – Because we want to! We don’t even need a reason. (Best reason of all and happy choosing from the 125 painting choices!)

To view all available Terrill Welch Paintings online click HERE.

Tips for browsing: For ease of viewing when you open the portfolio, click on ”available” on the top right. The paintings are presented from largest to smallest. Please note that the following painting is “On Hold” already.

When visiting our physical new Terrill Welch Gallery Pod at 428 Luff Rd, Mayne Island BC, Canada please simply text or call 1 250 744 4560 or come ring the doorbell for assistance if Terrill isn’t already present.

We are open 11-4 everyday through to Tuesday September 6th for our soft opening days. Then we will be open 11-4 Thursday through Monday for the autumn shoulder season and at other times by arrangement. More about our current show is available HERE.

All the best with making your painting purchase decisions. Let us know if we can offer any assistance.

Happy New Year As We Celebrate Terrill Welch’s Top Ten of 2021

/ Terrill Welch / Leave a comment

All the best of 2022 from the southwest coast of Canada! May you have time for long conversations. May you read books simply for the pleasure of it. May you view art that makes your heart sing. May you be healthy and filled with gratitude. May you lend a hand to others in their moments of less fortunate. May your creative spirit find its way into the darkest corners. May you know love, give love and be love. Happy New Year from the Terrill Welch Gallery to all our family, friends, art fans and art collectors near and far!

Today we offer you Terrill Welch’s favourite Top Ten of 2021 paintings for your viewing pleasure. Many of these works are already in private collections. Terrill Welch released 29 paintings in 2021 and 44 original works from her inventory were sold along with many reproductions. She knew this day would come but she anticipated that it would have been about five more years in the future. Fortunately, we have a healthy inventory of her work available and now represent the work of other artists that are her past students. In this way, we can keep providing the paintings that you love to add to your art collections and for viewing and sharing with others. For now though, in no particular order, are Terrill’s personal favourite paintings that were completed in 2021.
