March 5 - Lunch at The Globe with Hugh Russell, Sculptor and Artist

Please join us for lunch with Sculptor and Artist, Hugh Russell.

Hugh first spoke to the DAC in May 1994 and then again in February 1995. Now we know more about his influence on other sculptors such as Ralph Hicks and Debbie Ebanks. It will be fascinating to hear how his art forms and style have evolved since then and the directions his art will take in the future.

A gentle reminder that we have reluctantly raised our price for the luncheons and speakers to $20.00.

Reservations: We continue with Judy and Paul Lansing as our “ticketmaster” outlet. Please phone them to reserve at 519-942-4049. Also phone if you need to cancel! Phone by the Friday before the luncheon.

We look forward to seeing you at The Globe (on Highway 89 in the Village of Rosemont) on March 5.

March 10 - Light & Movement in Paintings with John David Anderson

 

Spend a day with John David Anderson, who describes himself as a Canadian contemporary impressionist. To use his words, contemporary because he is alive and impressionist because that is a good description of his paintings. John David likes to paint alla prima (all in one session), perfect for a workshop, to keep the painting fresh, loose, colourful and gestural. Experience the character of the light and the compositions that flow from the pathway of light through a space. 

John David paints tonally with rich colour and an impressionist character. He is not driven by the subject but by the light. Learn how to convey movement. Learn how to use fluctuating emphasis of light and shadow along with the use of hard and soft edges to enhance movement. The demonstrations will be conducted using oil paints. However, participants may bring the painting medium of their choice. 

John David paints in both oils and acrylics.
