. WATERLOO TOWN SQUARE â€" CONCOURSE LEVEL â€" 8855592 , Marg Zavaros Chronicle Special ; At first glance the building at 59 Erb St. East could be mistaken for just another neat twoâ€"storey home. But with a closer look, a sign proclaims that this is The Peter Etril Snyder Art Gallery. At one time the house served as a home, studio and gallery for the Waterloo artist and his wife. In 1972 Snyder said he decided to convert the entire house to a permanent gallery. Throughout the three room mainâ€"floor area, paintings of various sizes are displayed with prices ranging from $500 to $4,500.00. On the second floor, limited edition prints are availâ€" able from $30.00 to 200.00. Perhaps Snyder is best known for his paintings of the Mennonite way of life but the popularity of this group have detracted from his other works that include landscapes, buildings, flowers and horses which testify to his scope, versatility and talent. His latest book, "A Painter‘s Harvest‘", covers a 20â€"year span of his career with 320 works in various media. He talks with ease and warmth about his subjects and style: ‘"Like an actor playing the same role, I‘ve become typecast as a painter who paints only rural life. That‘s why I‘ve included a variety of subjects and settings in this book. I hope to be painting more nature scenes and florals in the When asked to account for the immense popularity of his rural and Mennonite paintâ€" ings, the artist offered some varied and homespun advice: â€" *"I love the rural landscape but 1 find, each person likes a painting for a different reason. e Warmâ€"Up Jackets e Sweaters e Skirts e Pants e Shoes e Dresses e Pantsuits e Scrubbies e Labs e Blouses One stop shopping for all POOL CLOSING NEEDS FREE POOL CLOSING SEMINAR SAT.

Some people will like it for its peaceful setting, while another will like the animals or a less complicated way of life, an unusual way of life, a peek at history and so on. How we respond to a painting is what goes on your head. It‘s an emotional kind of thing, a response from the soul. We see it, bounce it around in our head and then respond." Art in Canada has undergone many changes in recent years. There seems to be a growing trend to rediscover realist art. "I think the realist style is experiencing a comeback. Art in Canada has been elitist mostly because it‘s funded by people of wealth and status. I don‘t expect handouts or accept grants."‘ Recently returned from the West Coast, the artist photographed and sketched the ocean and moutains, which promise a number of future paintings. "As I get older, I realize there is much work I will never get to do. While walking from my home to the gallery, I see eight or 10 good paintings but I can‘t get at them fast enough before they disappear."‘ How fast is ‘"fast enough?" ‘"Sketches I do on the spot take 45 minutes to an hour or so if I work fast. If I work like a madman, I can do three a day." As for Snyder himself, he‘s as leisurely and laidâ€"back as the pictures he paints. "I paint wherever I go, things that move me or enchant The Gallery is open to the public on Tuesdayâ€"Saturday 9: 30â€"5: 30 and Sunday afterâ€" noon 1: 30â€"5: 30. A Painter‘s Harvest. Peter.
