Bringing Beauty and Peacefulness to Life
Lee & I came upon a GIANT painting being completed that every night!
We went for a Sunday evening neighbourhood stroll and came upon a brand new art gallery near Bank and Sunnyside here in Ottawa, Canada. A beautiful painting in the window caught our eye and we paused to take a closer look. Just as we were about to move on, I looked further into the store (which we thought was closed) and there, near the back, were two men painting on a huge canvas. Even from a distance the painting looked epic, so I knocked on the window and gave them a thumbs-up before moving on. Lee however, thought she saw one of the men beckon us in, so we backed up, tentatively pulled on the door and found ourselves inside.
There we met the owner – Kevin Dodds – an internationally acclaimed artist and teacher, and helping Kevin out, Fine artist Chris Tinkler. Kevin’s work has appeared in many exhibitions, galleries and museums worldwide including; the Parliament of Canada’s Hall of Honour and the Canadian Museum of Civilization.
Kevin’s current work is inspired by the peace and tranquility of unique and natural environments.
He explained to us that the mural we were looking at, was actually going to be finished that very night. It had been commissioned by the Lépine Corporation – one of Canada's leading developers of high-rise residential property. The painting is for the main entrance in one of their brand new buildings.
First, Kevin did a preliminary painting, which with corrections and client-driven changes, took about six months to complete.
