SUMMARY:Frank Allison: Paintings and Drawings
DESCRIPTION:Born in Saint John\, N.B.\, Frank Allison (1883-1951) studied painting under Wilfred Molson Barnes and Maurice Galbraith Cullen at the Art Association in Montreal; John F. Carlson\, Woodstock\, New York; George Elmer Browne in Europe. He worked for the Bank of Montreal in Saint John\, and by 1906 had transferred to Ontario and Montreal. He traveled extensively and found his subjects in many countries. Toward the end of WWI\, he was working for the Bank in London England and was closely associated with Canadian painter James Wilson Morrice. Although he painted a variety of subjects\, he had a special interest in architecture and is perhaps best known for his watercolours. \nPeter Larocque\, Curator at the New Brunswick Museum has observed that Allison is remembered for his impressionist-inspired landscapes filled with light\, mood and atmosphere\, and his accomplished watercolours\, which show his technical mastery of this very demanding medium. \nWatercolour painting has always been appreciated by artists for its portability and in the 19th century in Europe\, when landscape subjects were favoured by many artists\, art exhibitions displayed comparable numbers of watercolours and oils. However\, by the turn of the 20th century\, this ratio changed so that the number of watercolours submitted for exhibitions declined rapidly. In 1925 when the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour formed\, the medium received renewed interest\, regaining some of the stature it had lost. \nDuring the 1920s and 1930s\, the Canadian art scene in central Canada was focused on the Group of Seven and the idea of a unique “Canadian” art. The Maritimes\, however\, held strong ties to New England and Great Britain\, and so it was within this tradition that Allison found himself. \nAllison exhibited with the Royal Canadian Academy exhibitions between 1915 and 1941; at Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Spring Shows between 1915 and 1939 and was a life member of the American Water Colour Society. Among his solo shows during his career was one for his watercolours at the T. Eaton Company Gallery in Montreal in November of 1933 when The Montreal Star critic noted\, “Mr. Allison’s subjects are principally the streets and buildings of old towns and\, more particularly\, towns in the south of Europe. The pictures are mostly large watercolours\, painted with much breadth and freedom\, full of the gay colour and sunlight of places in Spain\, Italy\, southern France and Morocco.” \nAllison’s art is represented in the collections of Mount Allison University\, Sackville\, N.B.; Y.W.C.A.\, Saint John\, N.B.; New Brunswick Museum\, Saint John; City of Saint John\, N.B.; Milliken University\, Decatur\, IL.; Decatur Inst. of Civic Art; Art Inst.\, Springfield\, IL.; and many private collections. His niece\, Mrs. Doreen (Allison) Tuomola of Toronto has kindly loaned her collection for this exhibition.

SUMMARY:Thread Painting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Learn the basics of free motion embroidery or thread painting using your regular zigzag sewing machine. Lower the feed dogs and use your needle like a paint brush to create flowers\, leaves\, trees\, weeds\, ripples in water\, etc. You can spend the entire day perfecting your stitches or start a small landscape. Information on design will also be discussed. \nKathy Tidswell combines painting on fabric with free motion machine embroidery to produce thread painted works of art. She also blends innovative and traditional techniques to create unique wall quilts and original wearable art. Nature is a large influence on her work and she strives for realism. Her pieces have been juried into Canadian Quilters’ Association National Juried Shows (winning two awards)\, Grand National Juried Exhibitions\, Studio Art Quilt Associates regional shows and Ontario Network of Needleworkers Threadworks. Her work has been published nationally and internationally. Kathy teaches her methods throughout Canada and in Europe. In 2005\, she was awarded Canadian Quilters’ Association Teacher of the Year. \nCost $50 plus supplies \nSupply List \n\nZigzag sewing machine and its’ manual.\nDarning foot.\nNew machine embroidery needles 75/11 or 90/14 if you are using rayon embroidery threads. Metallic or metafil needles if you want to use metallic threads.\n7 inch to 10 inch slim (3/8″) wooden embroidery hoop. A regular hoop will NOT substitute. It is too wide to pass under the presser foot. If you don’t have one\, slim hoops will be available to purchase from Kathy for $10.\nYou will be making samples of weeds\, trees \, flowers\, texture in water etc. so bring threads in greens (several shades)\, browns\, yellows\, blues etc. If you have rayon embroidery and metallic threads in these colours\, bring them\, but it’s not necessary to purchase them especially for this class. Instead\, bring threads from your stash in these colours.\nSeveral squares of muslin or plain light cotton approx. 12 inches square and several pieces of stabilizer such as tear- away to back your pieces.\nScissors\, pins\, ruler etc. ie normal sewing kit.\nIf you plan to start the 5 inch by 7 inch landscape\, you will need small pieces for sky\, mountain and water.\n\nRiver Art Centre\, 8746 Main Street\, Florenceville-Bristol \nSpace is limited.
