Born in
Eston, Saskatchewan. McLeod grew up on a wheat farm, where the prairie
wind and big sky seared his soul. The rebellious and free thinking
culture of his family is evident in his artwork. His father set a life's
course for him with the regular advice, "It doesn't matter what you do
just be happy". So, he never felt compelled to follow anything other
than his heart.
Viewers
are struck at once by McLeod's paintings visually deceptive spaces and
the rich color of the saturated canvasses. Objects are depicted in a
style that could be termed as "contemporary representational". Handmade
frames adorn each painting. Built from a wide variety of materials, the
frames are an integral part of the artwork.

Pop Art - comes from the words Popular Art
and is a genre of art that uses elements of popular culture with techniques from
commercial art and advertising along with bold and bright colours to attract
attention. Pop art can be paintings, sculptures, and graphics that use the
imagery of popular or mass culture such as newspapers, comics, advertising, and
famous people, places, food or material things. A witty and ironic art, it
emerged in New York in the 1960s after having it’s start in London during the
1950s.One of the most notable pop artists of all time was the artist Andy Warhol
(1928-1987). One of his most famous paintings was that of a Campbell's soup can
which was considered iconic to the pop culture of the 60's. Think of pop art as
being fun, colourful with child-like playfulness and simplicity.

believe that flowers are Mother Nature's finest gifts to us all. The
varieties of shapes and colours are endless, and I enjoy the challenge
of capturing that beauty on canvas."

Red Daylily III by artist
Dennis Magnusson
Born
and raised on a farm in Alberta, Dennis learned to appreciate the
beauties of nature and the arts at an early age. The family home was
always alive with music and both parents and siblings had various
artistic talents. Dennis had a definite flare for art in high school,
but went on to college and was consumed by music and the high-technology
business world for 35 years. His talent lay dormant until he started
drawing and painting in 1998. Now retired from business, Dennis lives
in Vancouver and devotes his full time to the visual arts, painting
daily.
Dennis has taken drawing
and acrylic painting courses, but his style and many of his techniques
are self-developed. Current passions include detailed pencil creations,
and bold, bright flowers in acrylic. Dennis is a member of "Artfully
Yours" artist group and an active member of the Federation of Canadian
Artists.
