Canadian West Coast | Terrill Welch

This specific online exclusive show has been selectively curated to provide an immersive southwest coast experience through the eyes of landscape painter Terrill Welch. In 2021, Terrill Welch released 28 new paintings and sold 44 from her available inventory and by commission. This trajectory has been steadily building since she began painting full-time in 2010. If you are passionate about contemporary landscape painting, Terrill is an artist you will want to follow and consider adding to your art collection. The spirited southwest coast of Canada moves with rhythmic power and ease under Terrill Welch’s brushstrokes. There is a sensory intimacy between the painter and the southwest coast’s unique trees, sandstone shores, open ocean beaches and historic landmarks. Viewers of Terrill’s oil and acrylic contemporary landscape paintings feel as if they know these places, even if they have only visited through her paintings.

Inspired by Edith Point Conservation Area on Mayne Island

This 35 hectares of seaside trails has long been enjoyed by local Mayne Island residents at the welcome of the Graves family who have stewarded the lands since the 1990’s. Now, with the hard work of many including the Graves family, the Mayne Island Conservancy and the National Conservancy of Canada this delicate ecosystem in Coast Salish territory will be preserved. Edith Point has inspired many paintings over the years but most often the specific location was not shared due to it being private land where I had special access as a Mayne Island community member. Now, with its new conservation status, it feels right to share these paintings as a body of work. Learn more on the Nature Conservancy Canada website.

Seafloor series

In this intimate close up landscape series of the seafloor (or sea floor), I research my subject by sitting and observing on location at our island beaches and gathering photographic references and video to later use in the studio. For this series I am applying the perspectives of ‘landscape of the small’ and ‘a child’s view’ in my paintings. The paintings are completed in various sizes using elements from several images, videos, my memory and a few plein air studies. In this reparative, nature-centric, autoethnographic painting practice-led research, my intention for these paintings is to continue to find ways to enhance my sense of inner peace through nature. This series aims to connect us with nature's quiet yet profound rhythms, offering a visual meditation on the resilience and grace found within the sea and along its shores.

Small Oil Paintings

Over the years, Terrill Welch has painted several smaller oil paintings. This collection is for oil paintings between 8 x 10 inches and 12 x16 inches (either landscape or portrait). This collection has been created specifically to assist those looking for smaller oil paintings. There is also a separate collection for “Quick Acrylic Painting Sketches” in the same size range.

Summer of Flowers Series

For the summer of 2024, I purchased 10 buckets of locally grown flowers from Amber at Hardscrabble Farm with each bunch being delivered every two weeks to our doorstep. Amber came up with the offer in February and I knew this was just what I needed - a Summer of Flower series. Each still life painting is on fine linen over a Baltic birch wood 1/4 inch substrate using acrylic grounds or underpaintings and walnut oil for the final overpainting. The surface is gorgeous to paint on and brings out the vibrancy of the flowers to their best advantage. The paintings have been completed from life in natural lighting.

The 2024 painting year has seen Terrill Welch develop two new series with fewer than usual landscape paintings completed in her more familiar compositions. The “Summer of Flowers” series is vibrant, colourful and exudes joy and resilience while the “Sea Floor Series” has a rhythmic flow that often instils a sense of inner peace and wellbeing. We found it hard to choose just twelve out of the total of 37 new paintings released this year. However, here is our final selection.
