Inspired by Saint John Point Park Reserve on Mayne Island
As a landscape painter I have places that I revisit over time finding something new to brush onto a canvas for board. One of these places is the Saint John Point Park Reserve. These paintings range from 2018 up until today. I hope you enjoy the variety and exploration of this unique ecosystem located within Coast Salish Territory. Thanks and recognition to the Mayne Island Conservancy and the family who owned this property for working so hard towards its park status. Learn more about this 26 hectare waterfront park reserve that was established in 2017 on the Capital Regional District website.
Over time, Terrill Welch has painted the Mayne Island Japanese Memorial Garden both plein air and from references back in her art studio. These are some of the paintings that have resulted from those effort.
Oyster Bay on Mayne Island is along the Strait of Georgia in the Salish Sea and has been the subject of many Terrill Welch paintings in various compositions and seasons.
Small and large landscape and seascape paintings, by internationally collected, contemporary Canadian artist, Terrill Welch, brush an ancient song in painting notes of movement and mystery across the canvases.
The Quick Acrylic Painting Sketch collection are plein air or studies that sometimes lead to references for larger oil paintings. However, many appreciates these as complete works on their own.
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.
Thriving in Place is to fully live, grow and evolve right where I am. It is to honour the desire and ability to reach deep beneath the surface of all aspects of our natural world in my painting practice with revelry. I rejoice in what each day offers close to home on our small island off the southwest coast of Canada. Thriving in Place is a celebration of my everyday and the ordinary. I have enough and I am enough, today, with where I am and who I am. Methods and approaches will vary while my intention holds steady. These Thriving in Place paintings come from here and they invite you into the same practice for living.
These new paintings and studies are available to paid subscribers of Terrill Welch by herself first for consideration in this private viewing room before they are publicly released.
