We somehow ended up with a book of coupons from a magazine that my husband subscribes to every year. Most coupons we never use, however, there was one in this book for the McMichael Art Gallery in Kleinburg, Ontario. It’s about a thirty minute drive away, so we decided to go, because with the coupon, our entrance fee would be half price. The gallery is a beautiful collection of buildings on an amazing piece of property – rolling hills, river valley, forests and at this time of year, lots of snow.<\/p>\n

The gallery also has a fabulous collection of works by Tom Thompson and the Group of Seven. The exhibit featured, when we were there, was one by Kim Dorland<\/a>. His work was influenced greatly by Tom Thompson and the juxtaposition of pieces by the two artists was spectacular.<\/p>\n

The other artist that was featured at the gallery was a French Canadian woman, Karine Giboulo,<\/a> who did some elaborate displays in Sculpy. I wasn’t supposed to take pictures, but I snapped a few with my phone, so I could show my son, who does similar work in the same medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Canadian Art – Snowman in Sculpy by Sandy Tomany<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\nAlthough, we couldn’t take pictures inside the gallery, we were free to take pictures outside. Here, I think, is a quintessential example of Canadian Art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

And here is my husband blessing the union!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Every marriage needs a minister and he was happy to oblige.<\/p>\n

Actually, I don’t want to make light of the exhibits that were there. They really represented a life’s work for both artists and they were amazing!!<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful day!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
