QAC’s Expressions 2019 By Janet Jarrell
Expressions 2019 Exhibit at the John M. Parott Gallery
No theme was chosen or necessary
to encourage the artists from the Quinte area to express themselves. Through photography, needlepoint, fibre art, paint and many mixed mediums, the artists collectively pulled together a beautiful show. This year’s show displays a high quality of artistic ability in all areas. Juror’s Choice Award went to Mandy Bing for Share the Road. Lucy Manley commented, “The subject was handled very well and with good balance. My first impression was what a ‘funky’ idea. It was drawn and painted with expertise; good colour and harmony; aerial perspective led you down the lane and to the shore and back to the sheep.”

Juror’s Choice went to Stewart Hood for Crystal Lake. Frank Edwards commented “This is a difficult composition, handled successfully. The linear perspective in the upper and lower portions of the painting support each other in leading the viewer’s eye to the distant background vanishing point. In the aerial perspective, the colour values lessen as they recede to the vanishing point. This application of colour gives the impression of distance. Very clever!”
