I have just dropped off six CSpratt paintings, completed in 2023 and 2024, for framing and presentation at the Koyman Gallery. You can see them here. The Koyman Gallery is located at 1771 St. Laurent Blvd in Ottawa and features two spacious floors of wonderful gallery space and the works of many fine artists.

Poul Thrane There will be a Celebration of Life for Tweed artist Poul Thrane on Saturday, May 4th, 2024 from 2:00pm to 5:00 pm at the Quinty Curling Club, 246 Bridge St. West, Belleville Ontario. Poul was a remarkable artist that painted for many years. His paintings can be found in many homes in the Belleville area and beyond. I was extremely fortunate to meet Poul in Algonquin Park when I was beginning to paint and we became friends and painted the landscape on trips back to the Park, Gloucester, Mass., Quebec and around the Tweed area, often with ECOAA.
