Exhibit Opening – Bob McIntosh
New art going up this weekend! Drop in to the library between 12:30 and 2:30 for an artist meet and greet, enjoy some light refreshments and view Bob McIntosh’s art!
Here’s what Bob has to say about his art: “Painting is a hobby and has been for a few years. Photography was my hobby and my profession before retirement. With no formal training in painting, everything I do is an experiment. One of my favourite styles to paint is abstract. I find it very difficult to do as there is no object to compare to. The idea you have in your mind somehow has to be transferred to a canvas. Difficult to say the least and not always successful. It’s a feeling that one hopes will invoke a similar feeling to the viewer. Impressionistic landscapes is the other style that I like to paint. Love most of the group of seven style. Truly Canadian. To hear your thoughts on this show would be much appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to both view my paintings and your opinions”
