Mendel

The art gallery here in S'toon is called the Mendel Art Gallery. They have a wonderful show of gorgeous paintings by Dorothy Knowles,a Saskatoon artist who made it big. We have our own style of landscape painting here,lending itself to watercolour softness and big huge skies. Other places,people live on the ground,in the prairie the ground is just a 'stand' for the sky.W.O.Mitchel said we were like flies on a platter. Other places I have lived and visited, the people don't notice the sky. Here you notice the sky first.Seeing a storm coming, hail clouds, incredible sunsets most nights,sunrises worth getting up for, the blue,blueness of the winter sky, and in fall the colour sceme of blue,blue sky over ripe ochre- yellow wheat.Really, the light is fantastic for artists and photographers.Check out her exhibit, or check her out online. Just google her name.
