But at first\, I found myself going back to a more traditional way of painting.  However\, as I got back into the swing of paintings\, I started to explore new ideas.  I began by painting the amazing sunsets in the Okanagan region.  The first night I arrived\, there was a breathtaking sunset and I painted it in several steps to capture its beauty.  I also included paintings of the skies and paths I saw while taking walks\, as walking and hiking are part of my daily routine.  The third part of art show is all about flowers. I found a wildflower garden at the bird sanctuary\, and even though it was the end of the season\, I still found some inspiring flowers to paint. \n\n\n\nThis whole painting experience at the residency was a surprise for me.  I had to start with the basics again and slowly reintroduce experimentation in my art practice.  Happily\, trying out experimental techniques became second nature again.  It felt like a smooth transition back into my art and I’m excited to share my artistic journey at Mackie House with you.” – Doris Charest URL:https://vernonpublicartgallery.com/event/a-visual-journey-doris-charest CATEGORIES:2023,Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://vernonpublicartgallery.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/383816807_18357484489074192_5196330043891345997_n-e1699655567184.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20231005T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20231220T235959 DTSTAMP:20260412T161234 CREATED:20231213T181616Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251127T012555Z UID:10000003-1696464000-1703116799@vernonpublicartgallery.com SUMMARY:Illuminating Language DESCRIPTION:Dick Averns\n\n\n\nTopham Brown Memorial GalleryOctober 5 – December 20\, 2023 \n\n\nIlluminating Language by internationally exhibited and award-winning artist\, Dick Averns\, is a survey exhibition\, spanning thirty years of text-based art addressing a range of topics including social justice\, conflict\, natural resources and mental wellness.
