Colours of Joy

Anne-Marie Harvey, SFCA and Robyn Lake met doing what they love the most - painting in nature.  They began a wonderful friendship and both paint and play music together. Although their styles differ, they share a love of subject matter.  By van or by bicycle, they travel around together painting and exploring the landscape and the culinary delights of the Okanagan. From small plein-air sketches to very large studio acrylics and oils, more than forty paintings will be on display from June 12 to July 12^th at the Naramata Heritage Inn. To preview all works in The Colours of Joy:

Robyn Lake: "I have always felt joyful when I paint, regardless of subject matter, but especially the Okanagan landscape around me, and I express that with colour and brush.  I was born in the tropics where all the colours in the landscape are so intense and this has remained with me.  I admire the Okanagan's luscious sun-lit grape vines and the late summer yellow foreground grasses in contrast with the dry desert hills.  I feel a deep sense of gratitude and joy, and the brilliant colours I use are an expression of this: I want people to feel a sense of this joy when they look at my work.

Anne-Marie Harvey, SFCA: Painting is a way of connecting with the world around me. Light, colour and movement are my inspiration.  I am particularly intrigued with the randomness of Mother Nature, and seek to express her joy and freedom in my paintings.  Although I have played with many mediums and techniques, big brushes and interesting brush strokes seem to be my best tools so far.
