Tales from The County ( Celebrating Rural life in Prescott & Russell)
In Tales from the County, artist Crystal Beshara shares the places, the stories and faces of the people who feed us, work the fields, build and restore our historic structures as well as the animals who graze and animate this lovely landscape.
You may even recognize a few characters both big and small! From antique tractors, dilapidated barns and heavy horses to tiny calves and pig -tailed 4H kids. From the boisterous and much celebrated Vankleek Hill Agricultural Fair to the quiet moments of woolly sheep soaking up the last few rays of golden light on an August day. In a series of delicate watercolours and robust oil paintings, Crystal unveils the extraordinary moments of each and every day that we sometimes take for granted.

Crystal Beshara is an international, multi- award winning contemporary realist painter living in Eastern Ontario. In Ottawa she is represented by Wall Space Gallery and you can book a private viewing at her studio in L'Orignal Ontario.
She has been drawing and painting since childhood inspired by her rural upbringing in Eastern Ontario, Canada. Crystal moves easily between watercolour, oil and dry media. Her work is recognizable with it’s rich, earth toned palette and emotionally charged, rural narrative. She spent years as a child observing and quietly illustrating the life around her which has informed the accuracy of her anatomy in both her flora and fauna subject matter as well as her ability to capture expression and emotion in her portraits both animal and human.
She holds a BFA in Studio and a Botanical Illustration diploma from the Society of Botanical Artists (UK). She has been featured in Fine Art Connoisseur and International Artist Magazine , CBC radio , CTV television and more. (Scroll down for more awards and recognition).
Crystal is also a regularly invited Juror & Arts Educator and offers painting workshops abroad (Santa Fe, Greece, Wyoming, Newfoundland, France, England and Mexico).
