SPACE AND PLACE art show at Seaforth Community Hall

All through January , Rowland Marshall is displaying some of his acrylic paintings (and at least one oil painting done in Bermuda in 1948), at the Seaforth Community Hall.

Seaforth is along Highway 207, part of Marine Drive and the highway through Seaforth really hugs the open ocean - you can see clear through to Portugal !

This isn't the first time Rowland has displayed some of his paintings - far from it - but I think it might be his first solo show and definitely his first solo show in Seaforth .

A group in that community sponsors a different local artist each month to hang on the walls of Seaforth's Community Hall - which has one of the nicest sea views of any community hall along the Eastern Shore.

I'd put it right up there with the view from the Petpeswick Yacht Club when they have an Art Show.

A e-book catalogue of the show is in the works - I might even take some of the photos for it.....

See you there - grand opening is this Sunday, Jan 9 2011 - see below:

Michael's father on "Warming Earth"

Rowland (Dr Rowland C Marshall), Michael's father lives out along the Eastern Shore in Seaforth - 3/4 way down the 207 Highway.

He has a real art studio - a really old building that was once part of the community's first church - at least 150 years old.

He also has a virtual art studio -"Rowland's Seaforth Art Studio" on Google Sites.

He has posted on it the entire contents of his latest artistbook,

Warming Earth" .

Beautiful paintings, prints and poems expressing his worries about the fate of this old Earth if the mass of fresh water locked up in the ice of the Arctic is suddenly dumped into the ocean's delicate heat transferring system.

Well worth a look....
