"THE NATURE OF SEASONS"
|
 please join us next Friday, May 11th 7-9 pm for the opening of "The Nature of Seasons". Meet Holly and enjoy light refreshment. “The transition of seasons never fails to move me, explains Carr. Why after all these years am I still enchanted by the first snow fall, the sound of the spring peepers, my lilac bushes in bloom and the ever changing foliage from the first bud to the brilliant colours Autumn brings. The creatures I have depicted in this series of paintings are ones that I encounter often on our rural property. They slink in and out of the forest, leap across our fields and fly from maple tree to fruit tree. And, every time I see these beautiful creatures I am in awe and feel privileged for the encounter. The “Nature of Seasons” in all of its temperatures, colours and life’s endings and beginnings is a constant source of inspiration.” Sought after for personal appearances and performances, Holly has not mounted an exhibition of her work in several years. And, while her work is available at Harvest Gallery on an ongoing basis, “The Nature of Seasons” will be her only show in Atlantic Canada this year. We look forward to welcoming you! The show runs until June 11, 2012. Harvest Gallery 462 Main Street Wolfville, NS B4P 1E2 (902)542-7093 www.harvestgallery.ca
