Artguise Gallery's Brandon McVittie concludes the year's schedule with a new body of landscape scenic work in the traditional earth palette that is typical of his oils. McVittie strives to evoke mood through atmosphere, colour and light while being loose and airy in his treatment. His paintings are layered; combining transparent and opaque values that are built up in stages to create depth. It is the painter's goal that the scenes transport the viewer to a nostalgic place without being literal nor specific to location.
Please join us opening night for an evening that will double as the Artguise Gallery Christmas party. All are welcome.

November 2009 featured artist November 6th - December 16th 2009
ARTGUISE GALLERY 590 BANK STREET OTTAWA ONTARIO CANADAArtguise Gallery is pleased to announce the second solo exhibit of new works by plein air painter Paul Saindon. Paul's new series examines the changing chroma of the seasons in both urban and natural contexts. Saindon realizes his dynamic compositions as sculptures of light, working in acrylics on location with the changing light. These pieces achieve realistic impressions of radiance while being loose and airy in their execution. Most of Paul's canvases are rendered on site, deftly executed with both his brushes and fingers. This exhibit of new works is a colourful farewell to the warm and airy autumn weather as we head in to the
approaching winter months.

Artguise Gallery is pleased to welcome back to the exhibition space, for her second show in the gallery, painter Kristy Gordon. Kristy's current collection arrives at Artguise just prior to her departure for Florence, Italy after being awarded scholarship to study figurative painting. Her keen eye and mastery of colour captures her subjects in a contemplative light while achieving wonderfully sublime results. There lies an inherent honesty and purity in Kristy's painting as she refrains from embellishment and overstatement. Kristy's newest oil compositions are further evidence of her admiration for classical technique and discipline. We hope that you can join us opening night when the artist shall be in attendance.
All are welcome.

Artguise Gallery is pleased to invite you to attend an exhibition of new oils by Irish landscape painter Eric McCully. This show marks Eric's second featured series in the gallery. McCully's rich depictions of earth and sky are both dramatic and evocative. The artist's silhouettes of dawn and dusk blend ethereal light with romantic cloud cover, capturing sublime reflection and depth, reminiscent of mood in older era paintings. The series is in keeping with the first show the artist launched in Ottawa with us which was so eloquently well received. We hope that you will be inspired by these compositions as we transition into the summer calendar at Artguise. Join us opening night when the artist will be in attendance. All are welcome.

ARTGUISE GALLERY 590 BANK STREET OTTAWA ONTARIO CANADA
Artguise Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of an exhibition of new works by artist Jennifer Noxon. Jennifer takes representational slices of the natural world and retools its randomness into tableaus of harmonious balance. The artist's combined passion for music and visual art is discernible where shape, line, tone and rhythm are realigned to construct a designed composition. She enters into an abstracted realm by interplaying two and three dimensional space with rich colour, sharpness of form and a contemporary approach. This exhibit represents the first show the painter has had with Artguise Gallery. Join us opening night when Jennifer will be in attendance.
All are welcome.
