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

Great News for Our Summer Art Shows

/ Terrill Welch / Leave a comment

Great news! Beginning July 1, 2021, as per BC’s provincial health recommendations, masks are no longer mandatory. Masks are recommended in indoor public places for all people 12 and older who are not yet fully vaccinated. There will be no hard limit on folks in the gallery. On very busy days, we may regulate the flow of traffic to allow people to distance as spaces are small. As always, if you would like to make an appointment outside of regular business hours (and we can both be masked if needed, just let me know) call 250-744-4560, or email tawelch@shaw.ca to make arrangements.

The Terrill Welch Gallery at 478 Village Bay Rd, Mayne Island B.C. will have walk-in hours for both gallery rooms 11-2 on Thursdays and Saturdays and by appointment on other days. The gallery’s Arbutus Room is open for walk-in viewing whenever the Dragonfly next to it is open 10-4 Tuesday through Sunday. All work is available for viewing in detail anytime online at: ArtWork Archive for original paintings and acrylic sketches currently available

Thank you everyone for your continued support! We look forward to sharing our new shows with you:

Terrill Welch solo show “Stepping Lightly: pandemic life within our landscape”
June 9 – August 8, 2021

Through her paintings in this solo exhibition, Terrill Welch invites us to stand with her during this unique space and time, together. We shall open up in ways that we have never thought mattered, by design, filled with purpose, rising towards possibility. Do you dare?

Summer Group show with Jody Waldie, Jennifer Peers, Glenda King and Terrill Welch “Next to the Salish Sea”
June 24 – September 6, 2021

On our bellies leaning over a dock in Horton Bay, bracing against the winds in a storm to capture large rollers coming ashore or lengthening our stride along a forested seaside trail are all part of life on Mayne Island next to the Salish Sea.


In addition, Terrill Welch will be working on a large 36 x 72 inch panoramic view of Glenwood Farm Lookout in the Terrill Welch Gallery Arbutus Room (478 Village Bay Rd. in Miners Bay) starting today July 3, 2021 until it is finished. New photos like the one below will be added to a special album on our Facebook Page as the painting proceeds.

Enjoy! And drop down and say “hello” in person if you are on Mayne Island in British Columbia.

Allow us to inspire you with our west coast landscape magic!
