Show 2005: Jack Reid and Friends Acclaimed Canadian artist, and four favourite students 7 to 28 January 2005 |
One of Canada's foremost artists Jack Reid exhibits with four of his favourite students, among the 11,000 he has taught around the world, since 1972. They were Edward (Ed) Clark, Betty Jean Evans, Bruce Geldart, and Debbie Pearson. Ed Clark Ed Clark has painted on and off for a number of years, starting in oils and then turning to watercolours. He became more involved and enthuastic when he took a number of watercolour artist Jack Reid and went on group painting trips with him to Northern England and Newfoundland. He is a member of the Mississauga Watercolour Society and the Mississauga Art Society and exhibits in their annual Spring and Fall shows at the Springbank Art Centre. Ed has also exhibited at other shows organized by the Mississauga Arts Council and regularly enters juried shows. Ed’s medium has been been watercolours for over ten years and he paints landscapes, seascapes, street scenes and snow scenes. He loves the outdoors and is an avid cross-country skier, hiker and canoeist, and many of his paintings are inspired by scenes from these activities. Bruce Geldart As a graduate of California’s world-renowned Brooks Institute of Photographic Art and Science, Bruce Geldart developed a career in illustrative Advertising Photography in Toronto from the mid-1970s. This laid the foundation to adopt the paint brush and discover transparent watercolour as a medium that characteristically delivers a brilliance of colour that sets it apart from other mediums. Bruce typically paints in a realistic style, depicting diverse subject matter dealing with landscapes, still life and florals. As a keen outdoors person, Bruce can often be found with fly rod in hand, learning and observing nature’s ever-changing character. Over the past few years, Bruce has been fortunate to study with internationally famous watercolour artist Zoltan Szabvo, along with highly-acclaimed Canadian artists, Jack Reid and Brigitte Schreyer.
