An acrylic on canvas painting. As of May 3, 2018, the painting is available for sale for $1,000. The Regina Performing Arts Centre hosted to an art opening for Regina Artists Collective artists Catherine O’Byrne, Jeffrey Taylor, and Dave Gejdos on Thursday May 3. The Collective has six months per year space at the Centre. There were a number of pieces on display by all three artists in various forms from pottery by Taylor and sculpting by Gejdos, to various paintings by O’Byrne. O’Byrne, from Silton, works mostly in water colour, graphite and acrylic painting and had several works on display. O’Byrne typically does paintings of nature, often focusing on small animals. She says her subjects “grew out of my love of nature. And the subjects that I tend to choose are the ones that are small things. And I love an oriental feel to most of my work.” Taylor, who works mostly with pottery, and who had several pottery works on display, talked about where he gets inspiration for his art, saying, “A lot of it’s kinda subconscious where living in farmland, it seems to come out in my pots [pottery]. If you look at them, there are fields and there are furrows and there are different things, and now I have started using antler and different wood from around the area [in my art]. So in the land around me for the most part is my inspiration”. His studio is in Duval, SK. Gejdos, from Lumsden, is well known for his work portraying birds. He had this to say for new artists who are looking to get started in the world of art: “My biggest advice, for the type of art that I do, and I suppose all art in general is, it’s all about knowledge. Don’t be too quick to be jumping Mayfair - Antler Vase #6 by Jeffrey Taylor. the two vases are composed of various parts including Ceramic, whitetail deer antler, copper, solder, and Patina. As of May 3, 2018 this piece of art is available for purchase, with an asking price of $650. A carved wooden eagle by Dave Gejdos (untitled). into a genre or style or anything. Learn the absolute basics first. All art comes from drawing. It does not matter whether it’s a sculpture or the finest painting. It all starts with drawing.” Taylor’s advice to new artists is to understand and be ready for a career in art to be difficult. “Be willing for it to be hard work. You’re probably going to have to work several jobs for a long time to do it. Find a way to involve yourself in the community around you and invite them in. When I moved to Duval, there was nothing in the area that was, at that time, that really people were buying as something that was local and handmade, and so, try and find a niche that you fit into, and that’s the hardest thing. From a craft side, it’s maybe a little easier than from a pure art painting side.” For O’Byrne, finding what an artist is good at is what she would advise new artists to do. “Try different things. If you try one medium and it doesn’t work out for you, maybe it’s not painting maybe it’s sewing, maybe it’s woodwork. Different mediums have different requirements of your brain.” For Her, it is important that new artists,“ Keep on trying until you find a medium that engages you.” The O’Byrne - Taylor- Gejdos exhibit will be on display at the Regina Performing Arts Centre until May 25. Gallery hours are noon to 8 Monday to Thursday, noon to 4 on Fridays. -Alex Konkel, reporter for Last Mountain Times
Players in the Hall Today’s Trivia question: how many Canadian baseball players have made it to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown? The answer is one, and no it’s not ‘Stubby Clapp” who was legendary with Canada’s national team when the Pan Am Games were played in Winnipeg in 1999. The answer to my question is Ferguson Jenkins, who was born in Chatham Ontario in 1942. Fergie hung around in the majors as a pitcher for 18 seasons, primarily with the Cubs in the National League and the Texas Rangers in the American League. He won more than 250 games and he was the only pitcher to win the Cy Young Award in both leagues. Fergie just made it into Cooperstown in 1991, and it might well have NOT happened at all because of an incident fairly late in his career. Going through customs one day he was found to be carrying small amounts of marijuana, hashish and cocaine in his luggage. He was suspended as a player by the baseball commissioner, but quickly reinstated after his case was reviewed by an arbitrator. Amazing players Allow me a few more loving words about ‘Canada’s Hockey Team’ , and I’m not talking about the impressive squad who are trying to win a world championship in Europe. I speak of the magnificent Winnipeg Jets who are continuing to make us proud and crazy on the prairies. It takes 16 victories in the post season to win the Stanley Cup, and Winnipeg’s finest are halfway there. Who on earth woulda thunk it? Now they’re battling a team made up of players who were more or less regarded as ‘expendable’ by 30 other clubs in the NHL. They are the Vegas Golden Knights, and again – who woulda thunk it? Winnipeg has ‘home ice advantage’, but we know what that was worth in round two against Nashville. One of the more intriguing story lines in that series was the connection to Finland, a country of less than six million people who continue to produce some truly amazing hockey players. 20 year old Patrik Laine of Finland is due for a goal scoring spree, but in his second season in the NHL he evolved into a more complete player, rather than just a prolific shooter from the point. Going back Monday, May 14, 2018 • Last Mountain Times Larry Walker and Joey Votto are Canadian-born players who might make the Hall of Fame but it’s not an easy process, and it is filled with lots of double standards and hypocrisy. Names like Pete Rose and Roger Clemens will probably never appear in Cooperstown, yet Ty Cobb is there, even though there’s evidence that he may have killed a couple of guys! CURRIE’S CORNER ROGER CURRIE This past week, a pitcher from B.C. named James Paxton tossed a no hitter for Seattle. He’s only the second Canadian to do that. The first was Dick Fowler who tossed one in 1945 while playing for the Philadelphia Athletics. Fowler is not in Cooperstown, but neither are dozens of other pitchers with no hitters in their resume. Even tossing the only perfect game to ever happen in a World Series wasn’t enough to get Don Larsen into the Hall. Take me out to the Ball Game .. please ! to the WHA days in the 1970’s, the old Winnipeg Jets were the first North American team to bring players over from Finland, with names like Heikki Riihiranta and Teppo Numminen. We had trouble pronouncing the names, let alone spelling them, but boy were they good on the ice! Then there was Teemu Selanne, probably the most popular Winnipeg player of all time. He got a standing ovation during game six against Nashville, and that says so much about the community that welcomed him with open arms 26 years ago. I do feel a bit sad right now for Pekka Rinne, the goaltender from Finland who had a terrible second round series with the Predators. In game seven he was pulled from the ice after just 10 minutes. Hey, the game was already lost, and there was no need to humiliate a player like that. Onward and upward everybody ! - Roger Currie Disclaimer: opinions expressed are those of the writer. 11 MINISTERIAL MESSAGES A Quiet Walk in the Spirit Next week we will be celebrating the Day of Pentecost. Pentecost is the day the Church was born. Pentecost celebrates the gift of the Holy Spirit given long ago at the birth of the Church. On every Pentecost after the original Pentecost the Church gathers to celebrate the Spirit’s continuing work of giving birth/life to the church. The original Pentecost was a strange event. It was a day described by images; the rush of a mighty wind, tongues of fire, living water pouring out and flowing forth! Images of being out of control. When Jesus talked about the Holy Spirit, particularly in John’s Gospel, there is no mention of the spectacular such as we read in Acts, Chapter 2. The majority of the Spirit’s work is done quietly, and described as Counsellor, Comforter, Helper, Encourager, or Enlightener. The Spirit is that Holy Friend who quietly works in us and through us every day behind the scenes in the basic activities of our lives and the lives of the people around us. The quiet work of the Holy Spirit can be seen in the ordinary care we give to others and ourselves, in ways that we might not recognize because they seem so simple and unassuming. Such as: in the sincere concern of a friend for our health, in the generosity of those who give us so much help, in the inner strength we discover in times of crisis, in those moments when we admit that we have been wrong, in making a tough choice, in the resilience of people who face one bad thing after another, in times when we have dared to love even though it was hard to do so. The Holy Spirit, the Helper is quietly at work: in taking on responsibilities that we once thought beyond us, in refusing to let the greed of society take over our lives, in giving thanks always even though times have been hard, in rising above past failures and putting past hurts behind us, in finding a central core of peace in the midst of turmoil, in an adult patiently teaching a child self-esteem and self-control, in the person sitting quietly beside a hospital bed, in a parent praying for a troubled son or daughter. The Holy Spirit, is at work in a quiet, pervasive, reflective manner, inspiring the fruit of the Spirit among us in the very simple acts of kindness we show to one another. Let us continue to walk in the Spirit serving one another’s needs as they present themselves in our daily living. -submitted by- Rev.
