Artist Profile
Toronto-based painter Teresa Nice paints bold luscious luminescent still lifes and the occasional portrait. Once, as an experiment, she painted a four foot by six foot full length portrait of two adolescent boys, Dex and Eric. Nice doesn’t think she will do another large painting because it took too long to paint and because her studio is small, she had a hard time backing up far enough to get a really good look at the work while she was doing it.

Painting a country
Doug Purdon likes to paint the sea and landscapes but when it comes right down to it he prefers to paint the sea, partly because of its propensity for atmospherics.
He does the occasional urban landscape and enjoys doing it, but really he prefers the sea, the sky and usually a boat or two or some figures. “I love the water, I love the sea, I love the sky! There is so much colour you can get into them and I love the movement,” says Purdon who usually paints 20-22 paintings a year. “The maritime coasts of Canada, Britain and Scotland are some of my favorite painting places.”
