Featured Artist - Louise Thompson
Louise was born to a military family in Germany. At the age of three, the family moved to Ontario, eventually settling in the Barrie area. At the age of ten, her grandmother gave her a real grown up birthday present - an oil-painting kit, complete with an easel. A delightful gift! She continued to paint in oils for many years. Later, Louise moved to the Alliston area, where the lush beauty of the hills and farms continues to influence her today. Working mainly in acrylics now, she looks forward to many years of expressing the beauty around her in colour. Oh, and the easel? It's still in use, battered, paint splattered, and a lot shorter than it used to be, but still much loved.
