Vernissage: Fri. September 19 at 7 pm
Michael Sproule has returned again and again to western Canada because in the western plains, foothills and mountains, he has found land formations whose complex geology intrigues and inspires him. In his dramatic and colourful paintings, there is evidence of cataclysmic upheavals, of erosion and of deposition. From his paintings of the surging glacial outwash areas of the western plains and Badlands to the tranquil ebb and flow of foothills country, Michael Sproule’s interest in the geological phenomena behind the changing landscape provides the underlying structure for his work.

All levels are welcome from first time amateurs who want to try the basic drawing exercise to professional artists honing their skills.

For 15$, you get small group sizes, a professional and experienced model, and perfect lighting and temperature. Most importantly a comfortable and creative atmosphere is assured. Plenty of red and white wine, cheeses, nuts etc. will be served. So come ready to eat, converse, drink and draw!
