Supermoon eclipse A photo taken early Sunday evening shows the bloodred color of the moon during a total lunar eclipse. The eclipse occccured when the moon was at its closest point to the Earth, making it appear extra large. The two phenomena last occurred in 1982 and will next occur in 2033. Photo by Mike Lahaie
"Through my eyes".... Times staff Clearwater-based artist Lynne Sherk will be having a showing in the gallery at Dutch Lake Community Center from Oct. 6 to 29. Hours will be 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays. “I grew up in Lavington and for as long as I can remember I have been interested in nature and art. One of my favourite quotes is, 'One touch of nature makes the whole world kin,' by William Shakespeare,” she said. Sherk recalled that, as a child, she had received a Jon Nagy art set from her parents one Christmas and can still remember what a thrill it was to complete all the drawing lessons. “As a young adult I started to paint on porcelain and traveled throughout B.C. and Washington state taking workshops,” she added. “This was followed by watercolors and hand painting on ceramics. Now I have primarily chosen acrylics. For the last several years I have l have been teaching acrylics and get great joy from seeing my students succeed beyond their expectations. I continue to
learn from them also.” The Clearwater-based artist said that she doesn't paint to make a social statement or to invoke conversation. “I just paint because I like it – it's as simple as that. It may be how I see sunlight striking an object, or how two or more colours appear beside each other or it may just conjure up an old memory. For any of these reasons a painting may appear,” she explained.
