Earl Trimble
Ease, Depth, and Drama with Water Soluble Oils
Earl has spent his life working in all facets of commercial art. His real desire to work in art and make a career of it came from his excellent teachers at The Ontario College of Art - Carl Schaefer, Fred Hagen, George Ford, and Fred Finley. His first job was actually painting backgrounds for the old Simpsons catalogues! After many years, he started experimenting in all mediums, settling on oils, mainly because when he made a mess of something he could paint it over, or start anew! In his years of travel to British Columbia, the Yukon, Alaska, and the Southwest United States, he painted reference studies and took copious photographs for later experiments on canvas. So many studies, so little time! In his view, it is not what you put into a painting; it is what you leave out. He paints no details, no lines - no need to. He is an Impressionist. He loves colour, and his paintings are bright, airy, colourful, warm, and pleasant. Anne C. Sutton
Watercolor, “Wet in Wet” Autumn Leaves
Award-winning painter Anne Sutton was born and raised in Toronto and currently resides in Milton, Ontario. Drawing and painting since early childhood, Anne is primarily self-taught but has also refined her skills with painting workshops and classes. Her formal education includes a Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto and a diploma in Graphic Design from Humber College. Anne also teaches adult art classes. Anne's favourite subjects include landscapes, flowers, rural and equine scenes. Her medium of choice is watercolour, although she has also recently begun to paint with acrylics. Drawing inspiration from nature and the southern Ontario Landscape, Anne often combines detailed realism with expressive, painterly washes of colour. Capturing the conditions of light and weather, her paintings evoke a sense of time and place. Anne's work has been accepted in juried art shows across Canada and her paintings are in many private collections in Canada, the United States and Great Britain.
