Gull Friends Port Dover
Immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of Port Dover with "Gull Friends Port Dover." This painting is part of a cherished series inspired by visits to this quaint town on the north side of Lake Erie in 2017.
Depicting a chilly May day, the scene looks out from the Port Dover beach towards Turkey Point. The subtle hues of a turquoise-green lake, its frothy surf dotted with seagulls in search of their next meal evokes a sense of calm and introspection.
Created with oil paints on Terraskin®, an innovative and eco-friendly paper made from rock and polymers, and mounted on a cradled wood panel, this piece combines sustainability with artistic expression. The unique texture and rich colors bring the quiet majesty of Lake Erie to life, offering a vivid escape to a peaceful, lesser-known corner of Ontario.
Perfect for those who appreciate both natural beauty and sustainable art practices, adds a touch of elegance and serenity to any space.

Contemporary impressionist artist, Susan Hunter Guise, is thrilled to announce the opening of her solo exhibition, "From Field to Canvas," at the Adjala-Tosorontio Municipal Centre in Alliston, Ontario. The exhibition will run from October 24, 2024, to January 24, 2025.
Susan's latest collection showcases a stunning array of works inspired by her plein air painting experiences. Known for her vibrant colours and expressive brushwork, Susan has created some of her most captivating pieces to date for this exhibition.
"I'm incredibly excited to share this collection with the community," said Susan. "Plein air painting has been a transformative experience for me, allowing me to capture the beauty and essence of the natural world in a truly authentic way."
Susan's artistic journey began in 2011 when she started working with oils under the guidance of local plein air artists. In 2018, she sought further training and attended numerous intensive online art conferences, which have significantly contributed to her artistic development.
Her work has been featured in exhibitions at Double Door Gallery and Studio in Anten Mills, the Simcoe County Museum, Barrie Art Club, and the rotunda and small gallery at Barrie's City Hall. Additionally, Susan's pieces are currently on display at FortyOne: Local Art Market in Alliston.
Susan can often be found plein air painting with colleagues around Kempenfelt Bay in Barrie. She is currently studying Shodo (Japanese Calligraphy). She has also shared her knowledge and expertise by giving talks on plein air gear for the Barrie Art Club.
