| Strange Times / The Newscaster Paleolithic-style Rock Painting by Lynne Gerard |
“Let me make some greeting cards using images from my Paleolithic-style rock paintings!”, methought one day. As you cannot scan a rock painting into the computer (at least not that I am aware is possible), I took photos of some of those I made earlier this year and uploaded the photos to my computer. I composed new verses, did the calligraphy and made my templates then printed out the base card, hand-painted each one, glued on the art prints, scored and folded them and soon was able to add four new greeting cards to my product list. They are on sale in the gallery or available online, priced at $7 each.

Sometimes the best we can do is sit and dream — of a friendly face or a favourite place or some exquisite thing — taking their essence within like a breath — being energized by, refreshed — now able to carry on in a beautiful way.

When change comes, when a new path is taken, fond memories do not get left behind, they are carried, like treasures, close to the heart.

It was all so fabulous! Thank you for the memories.
The Ravenseyrie Art Gallery has been open for sometime now, albeit on truncated hours as the Gore Bay Harbour Centre is following a cautious reopening due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Several of the shops/studios are closed completely until the virus is no longer a threat. The marine museum is closed as is the lower level. Four of our tenants have been willing to be open to the public on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 4pm.
For myself, I have been keeping my usual hours (Tuesdays thru Saturdays, 10am to 4pm) all through the pandemic lockdown and am continuing in that manner even now, though the rest of the building may be a darkened cavern at times. Should visitors come on one of the days when the Harbour Centre is closed, they may come around to my studio door on the 2nd floor lakeside of the building and ask for permission to view my gallery. Facemasks and sanitized hands are part of our protocol. I provide wipes I make using alcohol and tea tree oil as I prefer that the chemical sanitizers not come in contact with my artworks.
