63rd Annual Members Juried Exhibition 

2021 VIRTUAL GALLERY

Enjoy our Virtual Gallery of the artwork that will be exhibited at 

Georgina Arts Centre & Gallery 149 High St., Sutton ON L0E 1R0
 
 

Welcome to the ECOAA Annual Exhibition and Sale. For over 60 years the East Central Ontario Art Association has been bringing artists of all calibers together in a supportive and creative atmosphere. Covid 19 has not slowed this group down. In person painting events have been moved online with monthly demonstrations and open studios to keep the inspiration flowing.  

This exhibition marks a milestone in the history of ECOAA with a completely online digital entry and jurying. We are hopeful for a live exhibition at the Georgina Arts Centre in Sutton, Ontario but with the help of our hard working volunteers the exhibition is here online as well. As they say ‘The show must go on’.

Juror:
 Ewa Chwojko-Srawley, Curator, Georgina Gallery

Juror’s Choice Award - Any Medium - $300.00 - Carolyne Pascoe for Avalanche
Picture
Rose Baker Award - Best Water Media/Acrylic - $125.00 - Gayle Dempsey – untitled
Juror's Notes: 
Juror’s Choice Award

Avalanche by Pascoe
Unusual treatment of the subject. At first I thought it was an abstract work, but on looking closer indeed I saw the avalanche! Originality of depicting the theme; variety of brush strokes (professional quality); also, an interesting (unusual) topic.
Picture
Lila Patton Award - Best Watercolour - $125.00 - Mary Ellen Gerster for Sun Worshipper
​Juror's Notes:
Lila Patton Award - Best Watercolour
Sun Worshipper by Gerster
element of surprise, because it is a watercolour on wood. Great technique! Confident brushwork; I like the contrast of light and shades - the light shines by shadows! It is an excellent study of light and shade. 

​Juror's Notes:
Rose Baker Award - Best Water Media/Acrylic
untitled
What compelled me is the enigma of this painting - is it abstract? seascape? it is on the border of figurative and non-figurative. Balanced composition, with a play of light and shade.
 
Picture
Dora Purdon Award - Best Oil - $125.00 - Lucy Manley – Quaker in Twilight Glow
​Juror's Notes:
Dora Pardon Award - Best Oil 
Quaker in Twilight Glow
Although very small, it perfectly evokes a mood of cityscape at night with an interesting balance of light and dark spaces, created by a variety of brushstrokes (thin and thick). 

Picture
Don Maddocks Award - Best Drawing/Pastel/Print/Other- $125.00 - Sylva Sroujian for Colours of Pomegranate
​Juror's Notes:
Don Maddocks Award - Best Drawing/Pastel/Print/Other
Colours of Pomegranates
Beautiful texture and nicely balanced colours which makes this composition 'jump out' at the viewer. Despite the seemingly simple (static) composition, the painting is not static because of the great use of colours. 

Picture
Gary Chapman Award - Most Innovative - $125.00 - Sheila Davis for Thrive
​Juror's Notes:
Gary Chapman Award - Most Innovative 
Thrive by S. Davis
Surprising combination of painting and found objects. Very creative ideas and use of the found objects! There is a whimsical feeling because it does seem that the viewer is looking through an unclear window. 


​Five Honourable Mentions - Any Media - $75 each
Picture
John Martin for Mystic Fiddlehead
​Juror's Notes:
 Mystic Fiddlehead
Unusual technique of pastel on wood (seldom seen). Playful, and a lovely combination of colours. Such precision in the execution! 
Picture
Wendy Bermingham for Come Together
​Juror's Notes:
Come Together
Good use of a variety of brushstrokes and contrasting colours to depict the mood . Tremendous feeling of power about to be unleashed.

Picture
Lori Ridgeway for Eye Candy
​Juror's Notes:
Eye Candy
Abstract, or a view of a lake through trees? Intriguing! Good use of colour to create depth and contrast. 

Picture
Jenny Reid for Spoleto, Italy
​Juror's Notes:
Spoleto, Italy
Vibrant and drowsy! Great depiction of Mediterranean sun. The mood is communicated well by the contrast of shadows 

PictureMargaret Roseman for Seek The Light

​Juror's Notes:
 Seek the Light
The title conveys the painting, which seems to be thrusting light out at the viewer. Good composition and technique.
