GREAT EGRET PREENING
“The great or American egret is one of the most elegant birds of the Americas. Its elegant lines and white plumage make it a classic beauty. The long, delicate plumes which are part of its nuptial plumage almost led to its downfall. Around the turn of the century, Victorian style dictated that ladies’ hats be adorned with these plumes. The great egret was almost wiped out by plume hunters. They killed birds by the thousands, taking only a few feathers and throwing the rest away. In fact, the egret unknowingly became the trigger for the conservation movement in America. Some of the more important women of the Boston elite were shocked by this slaughter for fashion, and the founded a group for the protection of birds in particular, and for nature in general. They called it the Audubon Society after the great teacher/naturalist. It was perhaps the first such organization in world history and is, of course, still going strong today.
I have painted their egret taking care of its plumes as its own adornments. This preening is not only important for beauty, it is necessary for protection from rain and cold. I wanted to achieve a porcelain-like delicacy and transparency.”

A PERSONAL NOTE TO OUR PATRONS: We see a lot of good art in the gallery. Good pictures sell themselves, while sometimes a small simplistic image draws repeat sales. Some pictures stand out more from the others whether it's the framing that particularly suits the image or it's the subject matter that is classic. Here are some gallery favourites to enjoy.
Robert Bateman "Kingfisher In Winter"
GALLERY FAVOURITE
In this picture the artist strives for a high contrast in colour. Evocative of a fresh, clear Canadian spring day. 
Paul Calle "Winters Surprise"
PERSONAL FAVOURITE
This particular print has been hanging in the house for many years. Calle's redcoat mountain men are a throw back to Hudson Bay traders and it pairs well with the brass cornered frame. |
Robert Bateman "Samantha"
PERENNIAL FAVOURITE
A small portrait of a great horned owl named Samantha (a rescued bird from a rehabilitation centre). This print is very popular with customers and always sells well at Bateman shows. 
Robert Bateman "Frosty Morning - Blue Jay"
CHALLENGING
We have found this piece is a challenge to frame (as is "Spirits Of The Forest") because of it's colour scheme. Too blue ... overwhelming silver ... any ideas? |
Pino "Evening Out"
GALLERY FAVOURITE
Ornate Italianate framing is a winner on this picture! The red hat on the mysterious woman immediately draws the viewers eye. 
A.J. Casson "Rooftops"
CLASSIC IMAGE
A nice departure from Casson's usual post-impressionistic landscape subject matter. "Rooftops" along with "Mill House" are stand out favourites in the Casson collection. |
