Water is the driving force in nature – Leonardo da Vinci
The County is surrounded by water, has several lakes, rivers and streams and yet is one of the driest Counties in Ontario.
There can be many themes on Water. It falls in many guises from a gentle Irish mist, to golf ball size hailstones, to drifts of pristine snow. We drink it as is, infused with coffee or Scotch, tea or lemons. We play on it, skating on frozen ponds, swim lengths in a pool, and who hasn’t lobbed water balloons at passing canoes. Water supports and gives life to everything on earth, from water lilies on a tranquil pond to massive hydro electric plants near James Bay.
To that end we are honouring Water in all its shapes and forms. Works of art that celebrate Water and all its incarnations will be presented. Over forty County artists are featured in the show in a variety of media. Acrylic to Watercolour, Embroidery and Quilting, Jewellery and Glass, Ceramic, Stone and Metal.
Enjoy a glass of wine in Black Prince’s Tasting Room and feast your eyes on ‘Water’ in the Art Cellar.

“There are many ways to look at life. To me, colour is life. The paintings I create come from my heart. They are spontaneous, they just happen. I mainly work with acrylics, and usually end up adding collage elements to my work. I love texture! My inspiration are nature, shapes and colours. I am intrigued by the simplicity of things and I am mesmerized by the interaction of bright and friendly colours found in nature, which I try to integrate into my art work. My ultimate goal is to convey a positive message and to provide an oasis of peace of mind with my paintings – I want people to smile when they look at my art.” Martina Escudero-Wolf
