Demo Artist LINDA BANFALVI info: www.lindabanfalvi.com
Linda is originally from Ottawa, Ontario and now lives near Carleton Place, Ontario. Primarily a studio artist, Linda works in various watermedia including acrylic, watercolour, ink, collage and enjoys using a mixed media approach in her stylized treatment of form, colour and design. Linda also enjoys en plein air painting on location in the beautiful countryside that she travels to.
Linda has graduated from the Fine Arts Program at St. Lawrence College, in Brockville, Ontario. Linda has also completed courses at Haliburton School of Fine Arts. She has attended numerous workshops over the years and finds that the creative process is a continual learning experience. She is influenced by the Abstract Expressionist Movement. Linda has worked as a registered nurse, since 1982.
Linda is inspired by the pure process of painting, and loves to create textures and contrasts in colour, transparent and opaque passages, and interesting designs. The ultimate satisfaction for her is to just play with the paint and see what happens. “I believe that if an artist can fall in love with the act of painting and not worry about the end results, wonderfully spontaneous images happen. After the magic happens, then you can balance the design and make the composition work.”, says the artist.
Linda is a Fellow of the Ottawa Watercolour Society. Her paintings are in private collections in Canada, the United States and Europe. She also has a painting in the permanent collection of the Conference Board of Canada

Ron Murdoch
Spruce Bog Studio
3132 Brunel Road
Huntsville, ON, P1H 2J3
705-788-9064
sprucebogstudio@gmail.com
Ron Murdoch’s art is a reflection of his love of the outdoors – hiker, hunter, fisherman, and canoeist. He has seen nature’s hidden places, misty lakes, waterfalls, and wildlife up close where he notes the details and temperaments of the scene to capture it as a work of art. After almost four decades of painting Algonquin and Muskoka, Ron’s works portray wisdom from his observations, and his experience as an artist produces a tangible memory of these places. Ron paints in watercolour, acrylic and oil; these varied mediums give him a full control of the moods in nature to choose the right one for the work at hand.
Mostly self-taught, with some formal training in his youth at the Glasgow School of Art and classes at Haliburton School of The Arts, Ron has also painted with some talented fellow artists – all of which has molded his unique style. Over the years, Ron’s paintings have won awards in various Ontario art associations and many belong to collectors in Canada and abroad.
The practical side of Ron’s nature led him to be a Director and Chairperson of the Agnes Jamieson Gallery in Minden and in 1993 to open North Art Supplies, an art supply and framing store in Huntsville. Ron is also a proud member of five Ontario art clubs which have contributed greatly to his place in the art world.

Intuitive Abstract Expressionism with Judy Mayer-Grieve (w/c or acrylic)
This workshop is focused on the unforeseeable and is highly intuitive. Through Judy's demonstration, students are encouraged to pay attention to their own intuition and trust in taking creative risks on canvas where happy accidents may flourish. Basic principles of design count only as the artwork nears completion. Colour palette will be each student’s choosing and preference. Judy's primary tool is a large squeegee for spreading paint on canvas. Fine tuning will be done with a brush. Students are encouraged to explore with tools, paints and surfaces. There are no limits set to it. This is a workshop of self discovery and to expand each student's creative potential. If preferred, students may work on several canvases or other surfaces during this workshop. $ 400.00 (cheq/cash) - $ 412.00 (PayPal)

Bridgewater 2015 with a demo by Marg Grothier An Elected member of Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour Marg Grothier currently works in ‘aqua media’, either on paper or canvas. She often incorporates collage, inks, molding pastes, or gels. She applies paint with a variety of brushes and other tools, using bold strokes, drips, and lines to infuse energy and movement into her work. There is seldom a previous thought process – making the journey intuitive, challenging, and very personal. An active member of ECOAA and a fellow of the Ottawa Watercolour Society, Marg had been teaching and painting for over 20 years. Her upbeat attitude and endless energy are reflected in her work and her love of colour. www.marggrothier.com |

ECOAA 2015 BARK LAKE WINTER WEEKEND ‘WORKSHOP’
INSTRUCTOR: CAROLYNE PASCOE IN WATERCOLOUR
Friday’s “Happy Hour” was held in the OAK CENTRE Lounge at 5:00 p.m. Old friends chatted and caught each other up on the happenings in their life.
We all squeezed into the smaller studio for Carolyne Pascoe's watercolour demonstration. Ever the teacher, she came prepared with handouts on design and composition. She gave a brief history of her work and some stories of former members brought back some old memories. While painting she pointed out the importance of timing and colour mixing. Thank you to Carolyne for giving us your time and knowledge.
The Weather held up well for the brave to head out side for some plein air. Those in the studio had a productive day sharing stories and giving advice.
Saturday evening the usual critique went smoothly with some good advice to all , from all. The later evening was made complete with board games and some fabulous entertainment from Tracey, Bob Murrell and Bob Culbertson. Some quick touch ups Sunday morning completed another fabulous ECOAA weekend.
