Our gallery greeter, Senor Chico, is resting up for a weekend of cuteness for our art patrons. He will make sure you feel welcome. If you are a human, that is. If you are a dog, Chico will get all stiff and growl and otherwise be a jerk. Hard to believe, but true. Come pet him and remind him he is a wonderful dog. He has doggie dementia, which makes him extra adorable. Our hours this weekend:Saturday and Sunday, 1-4. #amherstisland #finecraft #havanese #openthisweekend

A full heart! Thank you everyone who attended our Friday Sip Shop & Savour Summer Series tonight. How much fun was that?
It was my pleasure this evening to have served our members tapas prepared here (by me, which is rare, as Ross does most of the cooking) with our own organically grown produce.

I’m afraid I’ve been neglecting the website of late - it is sorely out of date, my apologies. There is so much more to see in the gallery!
I have noticed a shift back to in person shopping in 2024, so curating the gallery and creating a special shopping experience is my entire focus during our gallery’s high season.
Don’t get me wrong, there are beautiful things that you can purchase online and either arrange pickup at the gallery (free) or have it shipped anywhere in Canada or the US for a flat $35 plus tax. Spend $500 and receive free shipping! Let us know if it’s a gift and we will write a personal note on a beautiful art card courtesy of Canadian Professional artist (and relative through marriage) john_shea_fine_art . Thanks Rocky!
We are open tomorrow, Saturday, 1-4pm. I will serving iced coffee sweetened with maple syrup and my healthy breakfast spice cake. So good! Ask me for the latest issue of #watershedmagazine

A moment with a short-eared owl on Amherst Island. Acrylic on canvas 24”x18”. Started this a few months ago but put it away halfway through. Glad to have put it back on the easel this week! Calling it “Whooo Me?” Thanks to Kathryn Mills for the photo inspiration! #ontarioowls #shortearedowl #farmbirds #iloveowls #ruralontario #amherstisland #owlpaintings
