'The Ch 'ya ing by Oshawa artist Karen Richardson, won honours in the Oshawa Art Association's juried show In the spring of '91. It is now on dis- play, along with many other paintings by Karen, at the Scugog Memorlal Public Library. A natural As an artist, Karen Richardson is a natural. * The beauty of nature is something every one of her watercolours on display at Scugog Memorial Public Library in Port Perry, reflect. Whether the subject is an overgrown barnyard, flowers in a forest or seaside ges, she ges to paint a hary between the natural world and the humayorld. The response of the viewer is almost nostalgic -- even though you have likely- never seen the exact scene Mrs. Richardson has por- trayed, you have probably enj ioe something similar. Now an Oshawa resident, Richardson grew up in the Onawa Valley, near Algonquin Park, where she kept busy 'exploring pine forests, climbing huge rocks, and playing in lakes and rivers." " She says those memories have never left her. "Long after having moved away, I can still see their influence in my paintings." Maybe that's part of the reason her work invokes such nostalgia. Today, she spends a great deal of time with her husband, John, travelling and taking photographs everywhere she goes. The result is a cheerful, colourful, optimistic view of the world. Af you need a little cheering up, you can catch her show at the library until January 31.
