Phil Irish. My Goal, Oil on panel, digital print. 2007.
==============
Well, it's always gratifying to see the work on gallery walls. Crisp and clean, where the relationships between each piece become clear. Both openings were festive and good. I enjoy it when people really engage the work, take time to discover... and some even put their hearts on the line.
It's also great when critics and media take notice!
So here's the scoop about the shows:
1) Both exhibitions have been extended! So, if you haven't be able to see the shows, you have a little more time....
Phil Irish and Adrian Williams now runs until Saturday September 1st. For details, see
Angell Gallery
Phil Irish: Scene Changes now runs until September 15th. At the Bainton Gallery, Blyth Ontario. see The Blyth Festival.
2) Both exhibitions have received positive reviews!

Hope you enjoy these last weeks of summer. I'm taking Arden camping on the lovely shores of Georgian Bay!
