Artist Helen Hendry will be present at the opening reception on Sunday, Oct. 14, from 1 to 5 p.m. "I find the subject boat shapes aesthetically interesting," says Hendry, who teaches painting and drawing to children and adults. "Their sizes and shapes give them a feeling of big and strong, which I hope I can convey in my paintings." All but three of the canvases in her exhibit were painted on location in Oakville and Burlington, at such familiar sites as marinas, harbours and the Burlington canal. The other three are of boats in winter storage. For more details, call the OAS at 905-827-5711. Photo by Riziero Vertolli FOCUS ON RACES AND FORM: Clare McCarthy, left, and Robin Bromley invite the public to the opening reception of their art exhibition, Focus on Faces and Form, at Industrial ArtSpace on Friday, Oct. 5, from 7 to 10 p.m. Both these artists have abandoned careers in secondary school teaching to spend more time creating visual images. They met a couple of years ago while taking art class es at Sheridan College, and they now meet once a week for Life Drawing sessions at Industrial ArtSpace. Bromley refers to himself as an `im age maker," whether the medium be graphite, charcoal, pastel, paint, clay, film, digital, or wood, and has always maintained that the process is more important than the product. McCarthy considers the title `artist' to be an honourable one, and he says he will con tinue to strive to merit the use of this term next to his name. They both describe their upcoming exhibit as a compilation of quaint por traits and the human figure integrated into the landscape, using acrylics, pen-and-ink, photography and digital images. Their exhibit will continue in the gallery at 2334 Wyecroft Rd., Units 8 and 9, from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 6, Sunday, Oct. 7 and Saturday, Oct. 12. For more information, call the gallery at 905-469-8954. ` B ridalS ftoztJcase Monday October 15, 2001 7:00 p.m. Want something to do on a long weekend Friday?
