Artscapes Canada Reprised, or, Act 2

The magazine Our Canada has just published a story about the project Artscapes Canada = Paye-arts Canada in which I participated representing Prince Edward Island. It started in 2009 with an email from Ray Belcourt, whose idea it was and whose photographs form the backbone of all the paintings depicting the Canadian landscape with the many and varied interpretations of the 11 painters who participated. Without Ray's dedication and ceaseless efforts, it would never have concluded in a book and exhibit in 2013.

The story in Our Canada (available at news stands) describes the essence of the project and includes one painting from each province and the NWT. My contribution is Cavendish Winds (2011) and features in the centre of p. 13. (see my post from August 19, 2012 for more of this story and a better look at Cavendish Winds https://louisemould.blogspot.com/2012/08/artscapes-canada.html


p. 13, Our Canada (December 2018)
The book has gone into a second edition - an expanded, hardcover edition - and includes the third painting I did called Bales of Hay (see post from July 7, 2013 https://louisemould.blogspot.com/2013/07/bales-of-hay.html for more detail) as well as Cavendish Winds and the first one Prince Edward Island Potato Fields. Iconic themes with new interpretations. 

Below are a few photos of the three paintings were the focus of a solo show at Howes Hall in the summer of 2013 that featured these and many of the paintings that were studies.

Sailing to the Shores of Generosity: An Exhibit - opening Sunday 26 August 2-4 p.m.


An exhibit of mixed media works by Louise Mould will be held at the Robertson Library, University of Prince Edward Island, starting August 26th and continuing through September 21, 2018.

Sailing (7" x 5")
Louise has been working in this medium since 2000. These are small works on paper which are mostly abstracted designs with collage and ink. This exhibit brings together works composed on the theme of sailing. These convey reflections of the interaction of sailing on the sea often portraying the romance of the age of wind and sail.

Sailing: Two Moons (6"x4")

Louise Mould is a Canadian painter and her work can be seen in The Dunes Studio Gallery in Brackley Beach, Ellen’s Creek Gallery in Charlottetown, and at The Prince Edward Island Preserve Co. in New Glasgow, PEI. Her paintings are works of fiction and abstraction yet retain elements of recognition of place. She has had numerous solo shows and has exhibited in both juried and group shows. She is an alumni of the University of Prince Edward Island and of McGill University in Montreal, and also studied at the Université du Québec à Trois Rivières.
