Comments on the 59th Annual Juried Show from the Show Co-ordinator
The 59th Annual Juried Show is AWESOME! The Opening Reception on Thursday June 8 was well attended by about 45 people. ECOAA provided some finger food and the Parrott Gallery supplied sweets, tea and coffee. They had some music playing in the background - Stan Getz.
Susan Holland, Curator of the John M. Parrott Gallery started by welcoming everyone and introducing their CEO, Trevor. He spoke a bit about the gallery and Susan Holland who had received a Quinte Arts Council 2017 Arts Recognition Award at The Mayor's Luncheon for the Arts that afternoon. Then I thanked the artists for participating in the show, the juror and the people who assisted. Details are under the Acknowledgements in the catalogue.
There were 100 pieces registered and 94 received last Saturday at the Gallery. The juror, Daniel Hughes had a tough job to bring the selection down to 62 pieces in less than three hours. There are 40 artists' work in the show.
Daniel Hughes presented the envelopes to the six award winners and the five honourable mentions. He directed the audience to the specific paintings and talked briefly about each one. He saved the Juror's Choice Award for last - Wendy Bermingham's beautiful oil painting "You've Got A Hold On Me".
Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. And to top off the evening, there was a sale of a painting by Judi Myers - "Liminal Space" in acrylic!
The John M. Parrott Gallery will again host the next annual juried ECOAA Show in December 2018. I encourage all members to think about entering this show to celebrate the 60th anniversary of ECOAA's juried shows.

ECOAA 57th ANNUAL JURIED SHOW
MYSTERY OF THE PARK 2015
The 23rd annual "The Mystery of the Park" Show in Algonquin Park was successfully installed on September 24 and the 90 paintings on the wall look fabulous! I thank all of the 35 artists for bringing the best of their work to the event. Another reason for this great show was the cooperation from the people who helped get it on the walls -- Sally, Kathy, Gabrielle, Leigh, Carol and Sheila, maybe me? The winners are: 1st prize Eva Kaczkowski "The Secret Pond"; 2nd prize Sheila Davis "Sticking Out"; 3rd prize Evelyn Van Hoekelen "Corridor 60".
It's impossible to not congratulate Gertrud Sorensen for the creation of this successful running show and the financial support from her son John of Couples Lodge in Whitney. Thank you on behalf of the ECOAA!
As of October 8 over 15 paintings have sold! We hope this trend continues and you can understand the Friends of Algonquin are also delighted with our Show.

We had a beautiful day to set up our "Mystery of the Park" Algonquin show this year. Everyone was in good spirits with the return of the summer weather.

ECOAA 56th ANNUAL JURIED SHOW
JURORS COMMENTS
Our love of painting landscapes surely is an escape from the urban, so artificial environment. positively romantic, we happily ignore the damage we day to day do to the very nature we so much adore. fortunately the romantic in us leaves the cynical to the cynic and lets us enjoy the sun, the rain, the dark and that which is light.
We witness much of that affection displayed in the Gallery today and in the month ahead. for me to jury the work submitted was a pleasant challenge. with so much professional excellence on display, I in the end had to trust my heart.
JUROR'S CHOICE (for any medium) $300
Debra Bannister
"Swan Parade"
It was a difficult decision, to choose, with so many excellent pieces competing. But it stood out with the Swans out of their element, a humorous touch, the Swans doing the Goose Step, conveying a charming Pedestrian presence. Solid technique and composition supported my decision.

LILA PATTON AWARD ( for best Watercolour) $125
Barbara Brintnell
"Plein Air Lilacs"
Confident Plein air. Inviting, alive with the scent of Lilacs . A beautiful Watercolour.
ROSE BAKER AWARD (for best Water Media, acrylic) $125
Shelley Beach "Forces Within" Flowing, Liquid, yet controlled images. A compliment to this challenging medium. 
DORA PURDON AWARD (for best Oil) $125 Lucy Manley "Yellow Sky" There is more than the sky, the yellow reflection on the snow, it is thrown here and there in to the bush. A very mature piece. This we are used to from Lucy Manley and she keeps on spoiling the viewer. 
DON MADDOCKS AWARD ( for best Drawing, Pastel, Print or Other Media) $125 Carolyn Joore "Woodland Magic" An alluring almost monotone magical piece. The floral threesome, bark climbing up the Birch trunk, branches turning into cobwebs, whispering ever so softly. The bold frame a daring yet perfect choice. |
JEANNE-MARIE McADAM AWARD (for most Innovative Work) $125
Marissa Sweet
"Ebullient"
A ceramic quality, patiently executed. This romantic imagery carries one up and up with jewels to be picked on the way. Reminiscent of the spirited works of the Great Austrian Masters Klimt and Hundertwasser. A Sheer Delight.
HONOURABLE MENTION (for any medium) $75 each
Eric Wright
"Summer Day Bailieboro"
Traditional Oil painting at its Confident, academic best, and exquisitely framed

HONOURABLE MENTION (for any medium) $75 each
Joyce Burkholder
"South End Opeongo"
Carefully studied execution, and a perfect composition, all of which compliments the tranquil mood of this fine painting.

HONOURABLE MENTION (for any medium) $75 each
Niki Mitz
"Primavera (2)"
The Yellow floral burst defies the modest size of the painting. A very strong piece in its simplicity.
HONOURABLE MENTION (for any medium) $75 each
Sheila Davis
"Dreaming of Now"
There is a musical feel to this piece, a pizzicato of lights and brushstrokes. Spontaneous and fresh. Just remarkable.
HONOURABLE MENTION (for any medium) $75 each
Christine Peltzer
"Bon Echo Rockface"
There is more sunshine here than we have seen this summer. A light touch of brush and the translucent reflection make it a small masterpiece.
