PAINTING OF THE MONTH - April 2011 - Silver Peak, Killarney Park · Apr 5, 11:18 pm

I just completed the latest Peak painting … inspired by hiking to Silver Peak in Killarney Provincial Park at sunset. It was an amazing night! And to see the long blue shadows of the erratics was so calming amid the windy skies.

This work is 36” x 48”. The piece is also shown here in our gallery in different lighting.

The last photo shows the work while in progress a few weeks ago prior to completion.

PAINTINGS of the MONTH - La Cloche Mountains - February 2011 · Feb 18, 10:23 pm

What a beautiful sunny spring like day for this new series of paintings to be launched!

Each of these paintings were inspired by tripping to Killarney, whether back country near the infamous area of Killarney Provincial Park known as the Crack, or out in the Bay near Killarney. Each piece depicts the classic white quartzite known to the region.

Painting by Carol Currie - Final Installation · Nov 8, 10:47 pm

This piece entitled “Life in the Boulders” was one of my favourite paintings and installations to date. The work is featured on a beautiful curved wall which can be viewed from several different locations in their home, including from their upper level.

It is a true testament to creating art to specifically accent and utilize architectural features. After discussions with the clients, and a few walls to consider, they decided that since I am known for creating multiple panels pieces to complement spaces, they chose to create a triptych to be installed on what would otherwise be a very difficult wall to place art. The dimension of the painting installed is 40” x 62” which commands this space beautifully, bringing attention to this beautiful hallway space.

PAINTING OF THE MONTH - SEPTEMBER 2010 · Sept 12, 01:28 pm

This piece called “Rolling Rocks of the Peak” is nearly complete. I worked in a semblance of a tree on the right panel to give the painting some ‘life’. Now that the painting is installed in our gallery, I can contemplate how I want to change the tree. For me, it is too small and will add more to have more presence.

The piece can be sold as either a diptych to include the two left panels, or as a full triptych. The triptych is a good substantial size installed at 40” x 60” … large enough to bring presence to a room.

The subject is taken from a hike through Killarney Provincial Park on the West cliff of the Crack.

We are open Saturday of the September long weekend so do come and see what I am working on, and these paintings that are currently available for purchase.

PAINTINGS of the MONTH - AUGUST 2010 · Aug 23, 09:11 pm

Well these paintings are a few of my favourites recently completed this month.

I am attempting to capture those gorgeous warm summer days we have been having … reviving the memory of laying on these warm rocks by the water, or up high on the mountains of La Cloche, near Killarney Ontario.
Aaah what a summer it has been.

I have been feverishly sketching as well … prepping my next series, which will include 10 paintings … mostly boulderous landscapes from Killbear to Killarney.
