DVAC - PORTRAITS OF GARY RELYEA - OPERA YORK/DVAC PROJECT
These are pictures taken Nov. 20, 2014 at the Don Valley Art CLub painting portraits of Gary Relyea, baritone from Opera York's upcoming production of The Magic Flute.
Many thanks to Frank Pasian, who arranged this evening and the series of sessions to come. Lots of friends came out to paint last night. Gary made a great subject to paint and this resulted in many wonderful and interesting versions of him. I took quite a few pictures of the evening as shown below.
Quote from Frank Pasian's email invitation to the portrait artists of the Don Valley Art Club
"In March of 2015 DVAC portrait painters and Opera York will collaborate to mount an exhibition of portraits at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts. The exhibition will coincide with Opera York's production of The Magic Flute. About 6 of the lead singers will be invited at different times to the DVAC studio on Tuesday evenings or Sunday afternoons depending on the performers' schedules."
"Artists are invited to paint portraits during these 3 hour sittings and submit their work to a committee that will select approximately 30 portraits to be hung for the show. Most likely 4 portraits of each singer will be selected."
"The opening of the Exhibition will be early evening of Saturday, March 7, 2015. A performance of The Magic Flute will begin the same evening starting at 7:30. The Exhibition will run until the end of March."

We spent the day painting and sketching and finally returned to Toronto via the ferry at 3:00. Great day.

The Heron Wrap
Pat V hosted a wonderful day at her home where we all contributed in wrapping a steel framed Blue Heron wire sculpture. The rain managed to stay away which allowed everyone to work on the bird on the deck and share a lovely supper with good friends afterwards. Pat provided food and beverages and a special birthday cake for Marko K. I am sure this birthday is forever burnt in his memory as a good time.
THE GREAT BLUE HERON - Animal Spirit Guide
"Heron links two worlds: the waters of life—the Unconscious, and the air—the realm of the conscious mind. He feeds on fishes, which symbolize the treasures of the Unconscious mind: spiritual nourishment for the Seeker. Yet he is also a creature of the Earth, so he is a grounding influence for people who spend too much time in their minds and who are called to ‘fish’ in the waters of the unconscious. "
