George E. Bates |
Although he initially took on the challenge of painting in oils with a pallet knife, for many years George's favorite medium was pen, pencil or marking pen along with watercolour washes. He often yearned for all the training others had received by majoring in art at a University, but knowing that he would never have that opportunity he settled with buying and reading numerous books and taking the occasional evening class, all the while studying particular paintings he liked, plumbing for the secrets they held. Being able to discuss the principles of art with Lucy brought a much deeper understanding and flexibility, although this is still in progress. Presently retired, George, after some evening classes in the medium of oils, took on the challenge of painting in acrylics. At present his favourite topic is the great outdoors, but he has the goal of returning to the human arena. He is most comfortable painting representational subjects with an impressionistic approach and loves experimenting with various colour schemes and colour theories. |

Karoll Dalyce Brinton |
Alberta artist Karoll Dalyce Brinton has done portraits of people, including children (which are considered by many artists to be impossible to portray those soft, innocent, and lineless features). She has created hundreds of equine, feline, and canine portraits. Her instructor, Margaret Nadeau, wanted her to do anything besides horses. Margaret believed that it would be impossible to have a balanced knowledge of various things if she allowed this young lady to do horses. Thus, Karoll became quite adept at landscapes over the years. Of course it helps that she loves being out in the forests and beside mountain streams. Loading up her horses for a few days and heading to the high country for inspiration and relaxation. |
