On Progress and Flexibility / A Temporary Atelier

Here it is now just past the summer solstice and the project to build me a studio overlooking our beach at home has only progressed as far as clearing the site, bringing up rocks from the beach for pier footings and felling timbers for the bones of the structure.  Such is the reality when just you and your husband are doing the project in between all the other usual seasonal projects that must be completed before winter.  Clearly there will not be a studio building for me to move into before winter comes this year.  But I was determined to have an atelier sooner than later so Kevin and I decided to put up a 4m four season bell tent for me to work from.  Even this took a bit more time than expected because we decided it would be wise to build a platform for the tent and the spring was so wonderfully wet that the wilderness road leading to the build site quickly turned to muck.  Our ATV can access it, as can the tractor - but the utility wagon could not handle the...

On Closing the Gallery and Moving the Studio

I'm making a big change in my life!   Please read the press release for details.   I'm sharing some videos to help document the way the gallery and studio looked before I pack it all up and put it into storage.  I'm also offering up some images of the recent works for visual enjoyment.   I'll be spending the winter logging with my husband and in the spring we will build a private, small log studio where I will be able to focus totally on creating original works without the burden of keeping a gallery business running.    I intend to do a bit of rebranding of this blog in time and give a bit more attention to it once I am in the rhythm of creating art in my new location.

Studio Scenes & Gallery Glimpses

My blogging presence is not what it used to be as I prefer to spend less time sitting at the computer and more time creating new artworks for my gallery.  But it seems good to pop in here from time to time and share some images of things I’ve been working on, whether it be sketching, painting, calligraphing or composing poems or grinding pigments for making paint for my Paleolithic-style rock paintings, making tea and being inspired by the flora and fauna of my wilderness home or the stunning lake view outside my studio.  I am never bored!   My studio and gallery are open all year round, Tuesdays thru Saturdays 10am - 4pm, Closed Sundays and Mondays. I’m on the 2nd Floor of the Gore Bay Harbour Centre, right on the waterfront, for 18 years now!   I post daily on Instagram:  @gerard.lynne Inquiries can be sent via email:  ravenseyriestudio@icloud.com I hope you enjoy this image tour that I’m sharing with you!
