Canada Comes Of Age Art Exhibition Ottawa July 31 to Aug 2, 2017

Thornhill, ON - July 28th, 2017

1867: the year of Canada’s confederation. It’s a year that has been in the forefront of the Canadian consciousness for the entirety of 2017, with the current year marking the True North Strong’s 150th birthday. But 2017 also marks the anniversary of another important year for our country, and a dual-city, multi-artist exhibition aims to bring it to the public. 1917: Canada Comes of Age is comprised of artwork from 14 Toronto- and Ottawa-based artists, who have interpreted various events that shaped Canada in its 50th year of being. It includes Canadian artists such as Sue Miller, Kenneth Kirsch, Erin Crysdale and Lydia Pépin.

Feature Poster Painting "Vimy Ridge" by Kenneth Kirsch

July 8, 2017 marks the 100th Anniversary of the tragic death of Canadian Artist Tom Thomson in Ontario's Algonquin Park. Thomson, a Canadian Art Icon, was the main influence for the Canadian Group of Seven art movement in Toronto back in the 1920s. Kirsch has created two tribute paintings to Tom Thomson along with a collection of new Vimy Ridge and Historic Toronto Tribute paintings for various Canadian Sesquicentennial Art Shows in multiple cities in 2017. New Painting "The Art of Fishing" Tom Thomson and his Group of Seven (shown here), may be seen on display from July 1, 2017 at Muskoka's Eclipse Gallery in Deerhurst Resort.

Here was my "Best of Show" feature display in the main Grand Hall at this years 25th McMichael Autumn Art Sale. The show was a great success and The McMichael Volunteers raised over $125,000 this weekend selling fabulous new Canadian artists!
I did very well with a few large canvas sales! I spoke with thousands of people and most importantly, my works were received with such fantastic interest, compliments and praise.

Thanks to those who purchased, and to all who attended and supported me with your kind words and "likes".

Hope to see you all back there in 2016!
