International Artist Magazine

The watercolour "Last Call" (7 x 10.5", private collection, 2012) won a full page in the June/July 2014 Issue #97 of International Artist Magazine, through their annual Still Life Competition.

I painted this as a sort of tribute to the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. The tickets under the scotch glass are replicas of the boarding passes, and the time on the antique pocket watch is set to about 1.5 hours before the Titanic struck the ice berg. Last call, indeed.

"Parallels" Exhibition at Canada House Gallery

It is an honour to participate in a second exhibition with artist Dieter Schlatter at Canada House this spring, comprised of approximately 15 new paintings and drawings of iconic scenes of Banff National Park, and some more remote landscapes. Deiter's work will also feature iconic mountain scenes; it will be an interesting and dynamic contrast between our two styles with similar subjects.

"A second joint show for 2 Western Canadian artists, Canada House Gallery is proud to present the striking work of Jennifer Annesley and Dieter Schlatter. Annesley's incredible monochromatic vistas are created with charcoal and gouache. She also works in watercolour, and achieves international recognition for her talents. Schlatter's fascination with black and white film photography is juxtaposed with an edgy contemporary painting technique. The contrasts in the two artists' landscapes are obvious, yet unexpectedly their work is beautifully compatible." For more information, visit Canada House Gallery

Artists reception Saturday, April 12, 1-3 pm

Exhibition runs until April 23

 

The Grand Hotels

 

As I prepare to start a painting of the Banff Springs Hotel for my spring show at Canada House Gallery in Banff, I realized that since 1995, I have painted the Grand Railroad Hotels 40 times!  In light of this landmark,  this suite of paintings can now be viewed in it's entirety. There is a lovely poignancy to this, as the Banff Springs Hotel is 125 years old this year.  The majority of the paintings are of the Banff Springs, but the Hotel Macdonald, Royal York, Fairmont San Francisco, Jasper Park Lodge, Hotel Vancouver, The Palliser, and Chateau Lake Louise are also represented.
