Mainly Art on Main

Orange is such a vibrant and warm colour. 

This wall sculpture by Carole Davidson has 

extra sparkle thanks to the shiny metal.

Looking for unique pieces of art for yourself or a friend? A visit to North Bay's Art on Main is sure to solve that problem. The downtown artists' collective showcases a great mix of locally-made sculptures, paintings, jewellery, pottery and more. Look for pieces that "speak to you", in shape, colour or texture; they are sure to be conversation starters also at home!

Check out the following pieces that caught my eye recently:

Carole Davidson turns thin sheets of copper, brass,
aluminum and silver into beautiful works of art.

       Tracey Timpano's Klimt-inspired painting

       stands out...

         ...and so does this humorous painting

         by Barry Burniston, in more than one way!

     Kathleen Atkinson Hindle shows a fresh take 

     on wrought iron. Imagine the interesting shadows

     from this tree-branch sculpture when the candles 

     are lit!

             Kathleen also makes funky jewellery. 

   Quirky? Yes! Fun? Absolutely!

                  The occasional table by Kathleen

                  Atkinson Hindle is made from an

                  old, rusty car brake rotor filled with 

                  concrete. On top of the table: a cute 

                  tree sculpture. Birds included!

Terryl Ryan is the artist behind this cute basket. 

Ideal for your fall apples! 

 And how about this basket, also by Terryl Ryan,

    for all your design magazines?

                Nice colour combination in this

                rug by Terryl Ryan.
