We've been thinking of Mark this weekend
who is participating in a show at the wonderful McMichael Gallery
in Kleinburg..
If you're nearby
do go and drop by.....you'll love his work.
I love these trees on a rocky shore.
And just look at how he makes that water sparkle.
Mark is brilliant at bringing water to life....
Mark is a Pisces.....
You'd think that his family would have put two and two together....
But no, it took a stranger wandering into Mark's gallery
"The Artist's Den" in Collingwood
to point that out!
Dear Penny,
ReplyDeleteYou must be so massively proud with this so very talented son ... I am a new Mark Berens fan !!!!!
How absolutely appropriate that he show these at the Kleinberg ! Kudos !
The sunlight dancing on the water is just amazing! I know that you're a proud momma, but then again, you have every right to be!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a brilliant three days in TO!! I know that I'm not the most obedient student in class, but then again, I'm confident that you don't really mind. That's what makes you so special! I'll try to post about the class a little later today.
Wonderful paintings. Thanks for showing us your son's work.

How wonderful these are. The canvas almost looks wet with the water. Beautiful reflections. Just lovely - and I know you are beaming with pride!
ReplyDeleteI love his skies too, Penny...they are the sort of paintings that help one to see life more clearly...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Is Mark your son? You must be one proud momma if he is.

ReplyDeletePenny, Mark's paintings truly are amazing! I would love to see them in the gallery and would love to see the vistas and witness the quality of light he has captured in them. Thank you so much for posting them! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI would say the apple didn't fall far from the tree with your son - his work is so inspiring. How I wish I could have gone to that show! (ps. is he going to be at the One of A Kind show this year?)
