Call for Artists – The Four Seasons
– Inspiration Canada
Landscape art would be unthinkable without weather.
Fortunately, as artists living in Canada, our natural environments are all subject to the full range of atmospheric and climatic conditions.
Long have Canadian painters braved the elements with their paints and canvases; attempting to capture the explosive majesty of a Canadianautumn, the ominous rise of her glacial mountains above rapids; too-quicklytumbling to be stopped by freezing and long-stretching, summer plains which reach into late evenings. The seasons give us cloudbanks heavywith late Spring’s Thunderstorms, dancing sunlight on Pacific waves andarctic-wind blown snow drifts; encasing anything and everything in sparkling draperies…and ever so much more.
Now more than ever, let us celebrate the richness with which Canada is endowed; Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter – each with their ownmuch-loved meteorological characteristics, through the art of our localartists at the Monashee Arts Council Village Gallery’s February show, ‘The Four Seasons’.
