On Saturday evening of this past week, there was a new display of artwork that arrived at the W.K.P. Kennedy Gallery in North Bay.
Entitled Life Unlimited, this display of new and retrospective paintings by North Bay artist Helen Whitehead is not her first, but represents the first time she has been granted a spot in the prestigious Capital Centre's art gallery.
At the opening reception, more than 60 people (and actually closer to 100 people) gathered to listen as the artist herself recounted some of the tales which led to her creations. Each piece of art tells a story. Each painting portrays a part of history. Each one brings back memories for those who gaze upon them.
The subjects of the work range from buildings to portraiture to interpretive work. Each one is unique in its use of various media, and each one of the 30 works is worth the time it takes to truly appreciate the genius it contains.
