Christine Gollner's 'One-of-a-Kind' Painting Project |
|
|
Christine Gollner was invited by Barbara Adams, Arts laureate for Oak Bay, to paint a piano, to be used OUTDOORS in Oak Bay. A delightfully creative project! Christine has spent many hours creating this amazing piece of Art (arbutus trees, Gary oak, seascape, cougar, gull, raven, deer, otter, etc.).
Did you notice the orca, camas, tiger slug and Mt Rainier?
The piano will be placed at Turkey Head (Oak Bay Marina), on June 14.
You did an outstanding job, Christine! A MASTER PIECE!!!

We enjoyed having Sandra Kurvers come and visit us. |
