Orillia Museum of Art & History hosts exciting landscape show launching Oct. 26

FLY had an exciting day yesterday, travelling to Orillia, 2hrs north of Toronto, with artist friend NANCY BENNETT (pictured below) who was dropping off her large canvas that’s being featured in the upcoming exhibition (starts Sat. Oct. 26 and runs thru early next year).Such a lovely drive with so many wonderful ‘fall colours along the way.  Mother Nature is a wonderful artist, too, don’t you think?We arrived in downtown Orillia in less than 2 hrs and dropped off Nancy’s landscape painting …FLY was able to grab a quick interview with Arts Programming Coordinator Tanya Cunnington who is curating the show.

Nancy and FLY spent a few minutes walking around the gallery as other artists dropped off their works – all very exciting.Nancy (below left) chatted with other artists and even met a lady (below r.) who expressed an interest in her work even before it was unwrapped! Thank you again to Tanya for telling FLY all about the show…and good luck to Nancy and her fellow artists for a successful exhibition – hope you all sell everything!  Visit the gallery’s website for details www.orilliamuseum.org
