FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Muskoka Place Gallery
The Muskoka Place Gallery, located on Foreman Rd. in Port
Carling, has a great fall lineup of workshops and exhibitions. “Shorelines
and Hemlines: An Exhibition of Art and Fashion,” showing until October
1st, precedes the arrival of the highly anticipated “Water Power
2005” to the Muskoka Place Gallery, opening on October 8th. This
traveling exhibition showcases the talent of the northern members of the
Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour (CSPWC). The show has already
been viewed at the Station Gallery in Parry Sound and Lampien Fine Art
in Sudbury, and will continue on to several more venues in Northern Ontario
after October 30th.

Pat Fairhead, a longtime member of the CSPWC, now resides on Brandy Lake
near Port Carling, and some of her breathtaking watercolours are included
in this show. No matter what her subject, whether representational or
abstract landscape, her paintings posses a sublime weightlessness. Taking
hold of the natural grandeur and serenity of landscape, Pat searches to
capture ‘places where the sweep and power of nature can be most
profoundly experienced.’
From October 5th – 8th, Pat will be teaching a workshop, “Developing
Landscape Painting: A Fall Colours Retreat in Muskoka.” Pat is widely
traveled and has lectured and taught art in many Canadian universities,
colleges and community groups. She is an excellent and exciting teacher
who focuses on developing each person’s individual creativity. The
workshop will emphasize the development of landscape painting skills while
exploring natural and imaginative inspiration to abstraction, non-objective
and pattern painting, stressing the use and importance of colour. The
final day of the workshop includes a special invitation to the opening
of “Water Power 2005” at the Muskoka Place Gallery.
The CSPWC has a long and prestigious history in Ontario. Founded in 1925,
it is committed to the importance of watercolour as a medium, and recognizes
and encourages excellence within the medium. The exhibition “Water
Power 2005” is a great ambassador for this historical institution.
“Water Power 2005” will be at the Muskoka Place Gallery from
October 8th – 30th, with an opening reception on Saturday, October
8th from 2 – 5 p.m.
