[PHOTO] More selected images from Welcome to Colville, Art Gallery of Ontario

[rfmcdonald]

In November, I visited the Art Gallery of Ontario to see its superb Welcome to Colville exhibit. A month later, I visited the gallery and exhibit with my mother to see it all again. Now, the day before the exhibit closes on the 4th of January, seemed a good time to share these photos.

I got my picture with "To Prince Edward Island".



I also saw this early study of the painting.



"Milk Truck" does a good job evoking the small-town Maritimes for me.



Colville's painting of a cat and dog at their dishes is quietly domestic.



"Child and Dog", first the study then the painting, share in this theme of comfort.





"Seven Crows", as Ann-Marie Macdonald said in her paired video, does evoke for me the agency of these smart birds. What are they looking for?



So, too, "Cyclist and Crow".



Why is the woman running in "Berlin Bus"?



Meanwhile, the gallery itself was quite attractive.





There's one more day. Go see it.
