New artwork at the Shore Line Gallery to browse as you walk the main hallway at the South Shore Regional Hospital.
In keeping with our hot weather and drought-like conditions, Charlene Morton's "Sun dried orchard" features fruit trees in a sun-baked landscape.
Clouds pepper the blue sky above. An art photograph which could double as a watercolour, the colours in this work have a similar transparency.
Eric Amoah has exhibited his photographs at the Shore Line Gallery before. His latest is "Golden Hour", a large work showing a wave rolling gently onto the beach.
The sun is setting over a calm sea. "Golden Hour" is a metal print, a process that fuses an image onto a specially treated metal plate. It gives a luminous, high definition effect which is well suited to this work.
High definition is a characteristic of Greg Van De Moortele's painting style, which also features intense colours. Both can be seen in his "St Martin's and Middle LaHave".
In this work, the sky is a florid pink which is reflected in the river below. St Martins in the centre of the painting is surrounded by this amazing colour.
Ivan Carey is another artist inspired by the landscape of the South Shore. He has several paintings in the show, including one called "Stonehurst, Comforts of Home".
It shows a fish shack on an inlet with lobster traps and a blue dory on the ground in front of the building. The details appear precisely rendered but you see them because of the clear, pellucid light that Carey has captured in this painting.
A solitary figure wandering on a misty coastline is the subject of Lezlie Morgan's "Beachcomber". Morgan is a skillful watercolourist able to suggest a quiet ocean with white space and a few hints of waves.
Her beachcomber leaves a trail of reflections on the wet sand. The muted colours and fine brushwork give a sense of peace and coolness.
These artworks are on display now at the Shore Line Gallery. Next week, more artists worth a visit to the Shore Line Gallery.
