Peterborough Art Gallery

Last weekend we went to Peterborough to see the Lock at the Trent Severn Waterway (will post those pics later) and after that visited the local Art Gallery. It was hosting the work of David Bierk and his four sons Jeff, Alex, Nick and Charlie. My favorite was the oil potraits of Charlie Bierk - they were huge and looked like blown up black & white photographs.


Oil paintings of Charlie Bierk





This pretty much sums me up - Art & Antique - my two loves !

The kids found a cozy corner to chill in.


This had me giggling............

That is a Caravaggio in the back of Nick Bierk.


Loved the design of the gallery, very industrial

From the window of the gallery, the boys were about to jump into the water. It was such a beautiful day.

A rare pic of the man behind the camera.........the husband.

David Bierk in his studio.


The gallery shop housed a small library which looked onto the water. I fell in love with this space. Just imagine spending your days reading here..........Bliss..............

Spring Exhibition at ARA

Courtesy of The Academy of Realist Art

My school is hosting a Student organized Spring Show & Sale next weekend and today most of the works were put up. Honestly there is some serious talent in our school. Most of the work is student's assignments which are produced under direction from our teachers. The realism achieved is amazing to say the least. 

Drop in at the school next weekend to see the incredible artwork in person.
