1. Exhibit Blackburn Hamlet Library
The Blackburn Library in conjunction with Arteast is proud
to present an exhibition of horse paintings by Lore Oser Organ. This solo show entitled, “Horses” runs from
Sept. 24th until Nov. 26th 2016.
Lore has depicted the ‘horse’ in a variety of profiles using
different media. The depiction of these
magnificent creatures has always fascinated her and will continue to do so in
the future. Lore is primarily a self
-taught artist who has always enjoyed drawing and painting and the comradery of
other artists.
This is a unique opportunity for the public to enjoy,
encourage and support local artists in their community as well as engaging with
the Blackburn Library.

When someone shows an interest in purchasing a piece, they will be advised to contact you directly to make the transaction. We prefer to leave all works hanging for the duration of each exhibition. If you must remove your work prior to the next change-over, please notify the appropriate coordinator, so the Librarian can be advised and take note of the authorized removal. Neither the Library nor Arteast takes responsibility for the security of works exhibited but reasonable care is taken to ensure their security. Remember that these are very public areas that put your work and name before the public. Do your part to encourage people to visit the North Gloucester, Orleans, St. Laurent Complex, and Blackburn Hamlet Libraries, where Arteast members exhibit on a continuing basis.
We look forward to seeing exhibitors on Tuesday, September 13, 2016.

3. David Kearns Workshop
The Fall Break-a-Brush! Workshop Program
This Fall, we're looking forward to hosting another great workshop series: Over 6 workshops, we cover key painting subjects and walk with some incredible master painters.
Autumn's Garland - Saturday 24 September
We respond visually in intuitive ways: to colour, value and texture. Let's create images that have more than form, they have feeling. Join us on an optional local plein-air sortie for part of the day. Alternatively, choose a recent photo or artwork for a day spent celebrating this exquisite season, as with Tom Thomson's "Autumn's Garland". This workshop will include colour and composition techniques that can be applied using a range of mediums at all skill levels.
Van Gogh, Gauguin and the Post-Impressionists - Saturday 01 October
They could not have known the impact on expressionism that their art would have. The rough beauty, emotional honesty and bold colour of their paintings had a far-reaching influence in the 20th century and beyond. With this generation of masters as our inspiration, this workshop will focus on the elements that made modernism possible, colour and design having a certain independence from subject matter. Whatever your style and preferred medium, a lot can be learned from the post-impressionists.
From Ingres to Hockney - Line up your Art! - Saturday 15 October
Artists through the ages have used the magic of line as an underpinning for form and expression - from the 19th century French notable Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres or more recently, the English contemporary David Hockney. This workshop focuses on line along with texture, especially in portraits and figurative paintings. We will review sound drawing and painting techniques, working from both photo references and live model. Participants will be encouraged to pursue their personal style in the medium of their choice. Enlivened your paintings with the crispness of line!
The Painted Voyage - Saturday 22 OctoberEver since painters painted, they captured their experiences in travel: before, during and after. Throughout the stages of man, the travel motif has appeared in art. From cave paintings through the multifarious sketch books, fantastical paintings and works of more recent times, travel has been a constant inspiration. Whether you’re an ardent traveler, are inspired by the romance of far away exotic places or perhaps moved by a particular painting from antiquity, come and join us for a day circumnavigating our world!
An English Landscape Rivalry: Turner and Constable - Saturday 05 NovemberLandscape painters Turner and Constable were influential exponents of romanticism, an artistic movement of the late 1700s to mid-1800s that emphasized an emotional response to nature. Both were masters in landscape oil painting and sketching in watercolour. This workshop will appeal to painters of all levels interested in exploring the landscape with both realist and abstracted styles. Join us for a day of inspiration by these two masters and the bucolic English landscape.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir: portraits and landscapes - Saturday 19 NovemberRenoir holds perhaps a unique place in the annals of art, certainly of impressionism. Equally comfortable with portraits and landscapes, he painted both in pure impressionist style. The warm sensuality of Renoir's style has made his paintings some of the most well-known master works in the history of art. Whether your interest is in landscapes, figurative work or portraits, join us for a day fused to Renoir's vibrant light and saturated colour.
All Workshops are from 09:30 am to 04:30 pm at Rothwell United Church, 42 Sumac Street, Ottawa, K1J 6P7. $95.00 per session or $75.00 each for bookings of 4 or more sessions. Additional details are found on our website: http://davidkearn.com/courses_
These workshops appeal to a wide range of skill levels: from relative beginners to practiced artists wanting to pursue a new style. Together we will dispel myths and develop sound practices, creativity and expression! France and I would like to invite you to join us for an exciting spring painting program.
