Boutique and Gallery
This is not the first time we have enjoyed this wonderful boutique and gallery. However, every time we do, we marvel at the gorgeous setting and the tremendous art! In addition to the four artists mentioned previously, the gallery also features the art of Michael Dumas, Trevor Tennant, Johannus Boots and internationally renowned wildlife artist, Carl Brenders! Both Michael and Trevor have had their shows at the Gallery, but the others are still to come. You can come, meet and talk with Mary, Colebrook, Doug and James the weekend of August 14-16, 2009. Both Mary Kendrick and Colebrook Keirstead will be there the whole weekend (from 10am – 5pm daily) while James Lumbers will be there Saturday, August 15 (from 12pm – 5pm) and Douglas Laird on Sunday, August 16 (from 12pm – 5pm). I know that Judi and I will be traveling north on Friday, August 14 to visit Mary and Colebrook! Refreshments will be served! The other artists I mentioned will also visiting the gallery for their own show. Carl Brenders will be there on October 11 from 12pm to 5pm. His new works, “Snow Leopard” and “Talk on Old Fence” will be ready by then. Anyone who wants to purchase a print and have it held until Carl comes to town is most welcome to do so. It will be a great opportunity to have your copy personalized! Johannus Boots will also be having his own show, but dates haven’t been confirm yet. As you can see, the Clarkson’s are very busy people. Pete still tries to go fishing in his boat when he can, but living in paradise can have its challenges. I guess that is why the Gallery has been so successful over the years. Daughter Leslie has now joined the business and is “minding the store” full time. If you are ever in the Buckhorn area your should make it a point to visit Gallery. Fresh Timothy’s Specialty Coffee is always available and who knows, you might see a painting that would fit nicely on one of your walls or a special piece of collectible giftware that would be perfect for you or a loved one. In the meantime, the whole
family is heavily involved in the community of Buckhorn. Pete
is chair of the volunteer police department and a board of the
Buckhorn District Tourist Association. Janet
is the councillor-at-large for the Township of Galway-Cavendish
and Harvey and involved in all aspects of the community.
And Leslie, besides minding the store, is head fundraiser for
the community’s newest project, a year-round sports complex! I
understand that Pete is chairing this committee too (and I thought
I was busy!) Leslie has been able to have James Lumbers
donate a limited edition print, “A Game of Checkers”
for the cause! And Janet, well, I am sure she is involved somehow!
Construction of the project is scheduled to start in August (after
the Buckhorn Fine Art Festival and the Bayside
Boutique Summer Art Show) and to be finished by the time
the “snow flies” Local kids do need their skating rink!
