​“Arctic Sketch” is next print in Kincardine Hospital Auxiliary fund-raiser

“Arctic Sketch” by Group of Seven artist Lawren Harris, is the next print in the South Bruce Grey Health Centre - Kincardine Hospital Auxiliary's Art/Easel Program fund-raiser, on display at Sobeys Kincardine.

In the late 1920s, Harris changed his painting style to be less colourful and more geometric in its form. Thus, the Arctic landscape collection, depicting the harsh northern elements, is limited to a palette of blue, white and brown. His brushwork, though, creates a scene that conveys the idea that the vast north is beyond understanding.

The second print on display at Sobeys, is entitled, “Island Georgian Bay,” by Group of Seven artist Franklin Carmichael. This is a limited edition print, depicting an island in Georgian Bay, Ontario. The Georgian Bay landscape was an inspiration for many of his paintings.

The print at the Kincardine Hospital is entitled, “Lake and Mountain,” by Lawren Harris.

The print at Rona Kincardine is entitled, “Led Zeppelin Jet Plane.”

The print at Boston Pizza in Kincardine is entitled, “Two Deer at Sunset,” by Nova Scotian artist Maud Lewis.

The starting bid for each print is $215, and they are on display until Thursday, Dec. 12.
