Ryan Dineen has just completed his Lake Ontario (above) and the canvas is soon to arrive. This newest work underscores Dineen's astounding capacity with the brush as well as his adventurous choice of subject matter in the unseen elements of our surroundings.
Steven Volpe recently delivered Controlled Burn (below) which is currently on view. In his championed style, profound narrative elements intertwine to construct breathtaking oils in the artist's unique and prodigious style.

The canvas continues on with the SSNAP exhibition to the Victoria Arts Council Gallery in Victoria, B.C. from January 11 until February 22, 2020.

Artful Greetings II
December 7 - 17, 2019
The art of holiday greeting cards by renowned historical Canadian artists
After continued interest and discussion, we will host the second edition of Artful Greetings in our absorbing Collectors' Den from December 7 until 17. This exhibition formed through inspiration from the endearing Painters of Canada Series that was exhibited in 1931 by The Public Archives of Canada in collaboration with William E. Coutts, the founder of Hallmark Cards Canada, and Sampson-Matthews of Toronto.
Twenty-six Canadian artists contributed to the series, among them several members of the Group of Seven who had already gained national recognition.

7 x 7 inches, watercolour
The gallery has acquired two significant pieces of Toronto history created by York Wilson, R.C.A. (1907-1984). The watercolours The Ward and Richmond and York were created by Wilson within days of each other in 1924 at the striking age of 17. These pieces were exhibited widely, originally shown at the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts and in a variety of settings afterward, including The National Gallery of Canada. These pieces underscore Wilson's unbridled talent as well as the beauty of the city of Toronto after nearly one hundred years.
