MacKelvie Gallery

Yesterday three of the Group hung their paintings in the MacKelvie Gallery at Lang Pioneer Village and Museum.

It seems that since I tend to put in smaller paintings my usual spot is on the wall just inside the entrance door to the Gallery.

Two were pen and ink sketches of draft horses and the third was a watercolour still life of an old enamel water pitcher and daisies.

The first wall on the right hand side of the Gallery before the first window was one of three paintings by Diane Collins.

This was a brightly coloured painting of a red flower.

On the same wall at the far end of the Gallery after the second window was the first of three paintings by Cindy Allan of an autumn forest featuring maple and birch trees.

To the left of the windowed wall and on the far back wall from the entrance were the remaining two paintings by Cindy.
















They were of barns in winter, the top one of early winter just after harvest and the lower one of late winter just before the arrival of spring.

On the second of the windowed walls on the left was the remaining two of Diane's paintings. They were between the two windows and of the Village Church and a landscape of the area.














The exhibition runs from 01 September through to 06 October.

On 04 September the Village holds their 170th Anniversary Celebration of the Lang Grist Mill with free cake, an all day Harvest Corn Roast, live music throughout the day, horse and wagon rides, demonstrations by the Lang Pioneer Village Quilting Club, old fashioned children’s games and many more events.













The following month on 02 October is the Applefest, a colourful fall celebration of apples and the harvest season, with horse and wagon rides, live music and many more events.

If you have a chance come out and view the show and enjoy the harvest festivities.
