“Companionship” - cards & prints
Just back from the printer today, 4” x 9” blank art cards and 6” x 12” Giclee prints with a half inch border. I’ll sell the prints at the Gage Gallery in Bastion Square downtown Victoria, and mount a couple on cradled wood panels as well.
The original painting is 24” x 48” and recently sold at the Arts and Culture Centre in Colwood. This piece contained several sources of collage including marine charts of Vancouver Island.
The birds depicted here are commonly known as Oyster Catchers. These birds are monogamous and breeding pairs hold and defend exclusive territories from year to year, making a nest scrape in suitable habitat just above the high tide line.
My greatest artistic goal is to move others through art, the way that I am moved when I create, offering meaning and excitement through the viewer’s eyes. In my birth place of Victoria, British Columbia, I acknowledge and thank the Lekwungen People for their stewardship, care and leadership on these lands where I continue to live, create and play.

”Companionship” - 24” x 48” mixed media on wood
zhlédnutí 47Před 2 měsíci
This is my latest painting as of July 7, 2024. It took a while to come to resolution but I love all the textures made with various forms of collage from fabric, to tissue to marine charts to monoprints on paper. This painting is all about the sea, something that is dear to me, as I was raised on Vancouver Island coastal lightstations as a young child, my father being a light house keeper. My Da...

“Coffee Cantata” @gay4nature
zhlédnutí 31Před 4 měsíci
The Gage Gallery had the privilege of hosting Gay4Nature Collective at a pop up event called “Coffee Cantata” in Bastion Square, Victoria, BC. Coffee Cantata? What’s this about? Lizzy is open for love, but first? Coffee. Specifically iced coffee. A bit of an entitled nepo-baby, Lizzy is extremely caffeinated and ready to fight for her frappuccino. Her dad, Schlendrian, is more of an old-school ...
Smokin' Bones
zhlédnutí 12Před 4 měsíci
This video shows me in the studio working on the resolution of "Smokin' Bones", a 20" x 20" mixed media painting on slim canvas. While I work on the shadows cast from the shapes, I listen to one of my mentors, Nicholas Wilton. If you can read the tiny piece of text collage that reads: "potbelly stove burns hot, the fragrant smell of fresh cedar shavings..." became the impetus behind the story o...

Part 2--Getting Paint On!
zhlédnutí 345Před 8 měsíci
Now that I have something to respond to, I begin this call-and-respond process to see where this painting will go. Painting mostly intuitively, especially in the beginning, is the most fun part really because it gives me the freedom to explore and learn. Even though my paintings go through several "ugly" stages, I've learned to embrace all the yucky parts, because I know that is a sign that eve...

      Hi Marie, this is my personal CZcams channel from last year, not Louise Fletcher’s. I believe an email was sent out to folks who signed up for the free taster course and the video link should be in there. I’ve been trying to find it on CZcams as well so I can bring up a full screen. Good luck! Barb

    Thank you for sharing Barb! I notice that your paints are so juicy. Have you added a medium into your paints in the squirt bottles?

      @barbderousieart Před 7 měsíci

      Thank you for your comment Shirley. I use liquid acrylics by Nova Colour Paint, I order them online from California . I did some research on quality and pricing, and these paints are a third the cost of Golden liquid acrylics for the same quality. Even after duty, tax and shipping it’s less than half the cost.
