Ruby Slippers, Chemotherapy, Magic Wands, Make-believe, Hemingway & Haida Gwaii

On March 1, 2013 By

When the real­ity of life is too much, as human beings we have our imag­i­na­tion, our made-up, make-believe worlds to help us nav­i­gate the unimag­in­able. For artists and cre­atives, I can only think that we are some­how super-charged with imag­i­na­tions — for the best, and for the worst. Here’s how I’m nav­i­gat­ing these days.

Catching My Breath and Celebrating! The Final Piece of the Puzzle in an Artist’s Exhibition.

On August 5, 2012 By

Now, it’s time to take some time and cel­e­brate the suc­cess of this won­der­ful show. I’m usu­ally not one to pause long enough to catch my breath.…but catch­ing my breath was exactly what I did yes­ter­day when I saw the works all hung together. As artists, we need to take a moment and cel­e­brate the accom­plish­ments along the way. It is no mean feat, tak­ing hours of man­power, years of train­ing, eons of prac­tice and a lit­tle magic!

Alberta Light, A Retrospective :: Neel deWit-Wibaut at Bluerock Gallery

On May 4, 2012 By

Neel de Wit-Wibaut is a painter who splits her time between Cal­gary and a remote loca­tion in the Alberta foothills. Devoted to her work, she has been paint­ing faith­fully for decades. Her paint­ings express her deep appre­ci­a­tion of nature and invite the viewer to join her in a reflec­tion on light. Work­ing pri­mar­ily in oils on wood, her sub­jects are inspired moments of illumination—sunlight, moon­light and the col­ors in shad­ows. This ret­ro­spec­tive is a trib­ute to Neel’s remark­able career and an homage to the Alberta foothills where she has lived for more than half her life.

Off The Easel :: “Just Before The Storm”

On August 17, 2011 By

This is the last image that our fam­ily saw as we were com­ing back from a trip to the Royal Tyrell Museum in Drumheller, AB in 2010. After this.…we saw noth­ing but three feet of snow and sleet ahead of us on the road. An extreme freak storm in April claimed the lives of eight peo­ple in road acci­dents all around us. We were very lucky.
