The Ottawa School of Art will be holding an exhibition, featuring landscapes from the Ottawa/Gatineau region, July 3-6 in the Gallery at the Shenkman Arts Centre. 50% of all proceeds will go to supporting the school’s Outreach program.

My piece will be available starting July 3. Come check it out in the flesh and take in all the work on display there as well as the other shows going on at the centre. Arteast has the Rendezvous location right next door and also has the Promenade on the floor below.

Rockliffe Rockeries, the 6.5 acre park on the shores of the Ottawa River, opened in the late 1800s. It is an urban oasis featuring mixed woodland, including pine and cedar (and other tree species I don’t yet recognize). I particularly like the easy to reach quiet places. You can easily imagine you are way back in the woods, far from everything (but always handy close to washrooms and the parking lot).

This piece is based partly on a spot on one of the short trails and partly on my imagination. Well actually, maybe a larger part on my imagination. According to the latest view of perception by neurobiologists, what we think is out there, is a construct of the mind based on sensory inputs (biology) and temperament (psychology) – artistic license finally has an alibi.
