[donnamcgee]

The beautiful #DooLoughValley in Co. Mayo is a famine memorial ground marked with a plain stone cross marked "Doolough Tragedy 1849". An annual walk is held to remember those that died and to highlight starvation of the world's poor to the present day. We came upon this site driving along the #Mweelrea mountain and #SheeffreyHills. This is a 10 x 12 inch oil painting presented in a silver frame which is available. (at Doo Lough Valley County Mayo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCdh1IknjY8/?igshid=1c6n5rqfzhktz

#YEGPublicArt :: New for 2019

(A detail of Spring is Sprung the Grass is Riz by Karen Klassen & Erin Pankratz at Dermott Park)

As 2019 settles into a groove, the Edmonton Arts Council public art and conservation departments are gearing up for a new round of installations, revelations, and conservation. This year, we anticipate adding 11 new public artworks to the City of Edmonton Public Art Collection. Of that number, five are by Edmonton-based artists, two by Albertans, two by Canadian artists, and two are international projects. Reflecting the complex nature of construction schedules, a couple won’t be visible to the public until their respective facilities open in 2020. EAC Conservation continues to work on the mammoth Norman Yates mural restoration project and plans to be out and about cleaning and restoring Edmonton’s sculptures and murals again this spring.

Keep your eyes open for some exciting temporary projects as well. Ground Proof will scatter works by local artists throughout neighbourhoods around town and #YEGCanvas will return in a new, more mobile format.

To be revealed

Spring is Sprung, the Grass is Riz (I Wonder where the Birdie is?) – Karen Klassen & Erin Pankratz, (Edmonton), Dermott Park

Ablaze with colour and texture, this intricate ceramic tile mosaic features exotic birds concealed within its fantastical flowers. Created by Edmonton mosaicists Karen Klassen and Erin Pankratz, the artwork adorns an undulating concrete wall at the new park entrance. It will be revealed later this year when Dermott Park reopens.

(Rendering of Animal Family at the Valley Zoo)

Animal Family – Leu/Webb, (Canada), Nature’s Wild Backyard, Edmonton Valley Zoo

The new family-friendly Urban Barn at the city’s beloved zoo will offer kids and families new ways to interact with the animals living there. To further animate the experience, Toronto artists Christine Leu and Paul Webb created Animal Family, an interactive, brightly coloured “flipbook” of farm animals. The movable panels will allow kids to make tails wag, and heads move. You can play with Animal Family later in 2019 when the facility opens to the public.

New Installs

(Artist Rendering of Platanos at Belvedere Transit Centre)

Platanos (Plantains) – Karen Michelle Campos Castillo (Edmonton),  Belvedere Transit Centre

Nothing says “home” quite like the food we grew up eating. To celebrate the diverse, multi-ethnic communities that call Edmonton’s north end home, local artist Karen Michelle Campos Castillo will suspend glistening green bunches of plantains within the transit centre waiting area. The plantain is a staple food for many populations within Asia, Africa, South America, and the Caribbean. Campos Castillo grew up in Edmonton’s Belvedere neighbourhood after her family relocated from El Salvador more than 20 years ago. Her mother’s cooking of traditional Salvadorean fare offset her feelings of homesickness and culture shock.

(Artist Rendering of Agent Crystalline at EPS Northwest)

Agent Crystalline - Marc Fornes & THEVERYMANY (International) Edmonton Northwest Police Campu

From the artist collective that brought us Vaulted Willow comes an intriguing angular matrix. Agent Crystalline is an urban arch which will act as a beacon for the Edmonton Police Service’s Northwest facility.

(Artist concept drawing of Day Map / Night Map for Heritage Valley Park & Ride)

Day Map / Night Map – Jill Stanton (Edmonton), Heritage Valley Park & Ride

Two painted murals by Edmonton muralist Jill Stanton will splash colour along the walls of each side of the transit centre building. They will feature highly detailed, colourful maps of a fictional city straddling a river.

(Artist concept drawing for Neon Prairie)

Neon Prairie – Victoria Wiercinski, (Edmonton), Jasper Place Leisure Centre

This fall, swimmers at the newly renovated leisure centre, will have a new mural to enjoy during their morning laps. The artist was inspired by the idea that the pool is a year-round lake and so created a mural concept that would provide pool users with a sense of the sky. The brightly patterned modern drawing of prairie skyscapes will be hand painted on panels. The artwork design is determined by imagery derived through a community workshop that took place in 2016.

(Sculpture in exhibition of Landbuoys series - photo courtesy of Tony Bloom)

Silver Seed – Tony Bloom (Alberta), Jasper Place Bowl & Grandstand Silver Seed is part of Canmore artist Tony Bloom’s Landbuoy series. The sculpture is a 1.5 metre hemisphere with a 20 cm slice rotated up into a fin or sail. The Landbuoy series explores the idea of signifiers in our midst, such as erratics—geologic artifacts left behind by retreating glaciers. Rather than being organic in nature, the Landbuoys point to an intelligent hand, and ask, but do not answer, how these structures got there.

(Artist Rendering of one of the mountain landscapes in 53°30’N)

53°30’N – Thorsten Goldberg (International), Kathleen Andrews Transit Garage

Five mountain landscape will begin to sparkle from the roof of the in-progress Kathleen Andrews Transit Garage later this year. 53°30’N is a collection of topo­graphic models from locations sitting on the same latitude (53°) as Edmonton.

The models depict locations in five geographic areas: Mount Chown (Alberta), the crater of Mount Okmok (Umnak Island in the Aleutians), Zhupanovsky Crater (Kamchatka, Russia), an unnamed landscape near Dacaodianzi, Heilongjiang Sheng (China) and Mweelrea (Connaught, Ireland). The artistic concept is inspired by what the artist calls the “globe game”- placing your finger on a specific location and rotating the globe to see what other locations lie along a specific latitude.

Kathleen Andrews Portrait -  Daphne Cote (Edmonton), Kathleen Andrews Transit Garage

Kathleen Andrews was Edmonton’s first female bus driver. Originally from England, she was a long-time ETS employee who filled several positions with the organization. Daphne Cote’s portrait draws on photographs and remembrances of this dynamic, pioneering Edmontonian.

(Fabrication image of The Dancer - courtesy of the artists)

The Dancer – Verne Busby & Bella Totino-Busby (Edmonton), Yorath House

The Dancer is a human-scale abstracted representation of a figure in motion. The sculpture is based on an ink brush drawing. The artists intend that the sculpture imparts a feeling of thought, presence, and inspiration to the viewer. Totino Busby believes that public art should challenge the viewer, spark curiosity, and heighten the human spirit.

(Concept maquette by Studio F Minus)

Untitled Kinistinâw Park Project – Studio F Minus (Canada) – Kinistinâw Park, The Quarters Downtown

This project begins by looking to the existing site of Kinistinâw Park for artifacts, symbols and icons already present in the community.

Replicas of the artifact lions, which were formerly set at the Harbin Gate, will be cast in translucent resin layers. Like an archaeological dig site, personal artifacts from the current community and the history of the site will be cast and suspended in the resin layers.

The project uses social art practices and community involvement to address the questions: “How can we preserve the history of a place and its diverse inhabitants? How can we engage the community in a meaningful way? How can we choose symbols and imagery to mark public space?”

A poem by Michael Longley

To Otomo Yakamochi

On receiving the inaugural Yakamochi Medal

You, Otomo Yakamochi, Poet and governor, and I Minor bureaucrat, and poet too, Meet across thirteen hundred years To talk about birds and flowers. Lover of cuckoos and wisteria, For you I have saved meadowsweet And willowherb and loosestrife And the meadow pipit’s few notes And the skylark’s aria. We gaze on our soul-landscapes More intensely with every year – Small boats passing Inishbofin, Small boats on the Nago Sea, Wokami River crimson-lustrous. Barnacle geese our messengers Across space and time, Otomo – Tormentil closed by the rain And centaury, tiny boxes Yellow and pink, Japanese. Anything however small May make a poem, a snail, say, Tucked into the marram grass, In the distance Tateyama Or Mweelrea, holy mountains. I picture you at the White Strand Galloping through the breakers, Spring-tide and rain and spray Kicked up by your horse’s hooves Drenching bridle and stirrups. A small townland becomes my life, Carrigskeewaun, grandchildren Wading in the tidal channel – Otomo, my soul’s a currach Disappearing behind the waves.

Michael Longley

This poem is from Michael Longley’s new collection, The Candlelight Master.

A Blissful Keep Amidst The Mountain ranges!

The Unicoi Mountain ranges are actually a range of mountains climbing along the border in between Tennessee and North Carolina in the southeastern USA. Whales generally are limited to the cool waters of the South Atlantic as well as Southern Sea as this is where krill, their major food items source, is plentiful. Exploring as well as organizing ahead is a certain method to locate exciting, cheap shore excursions. Perhaps the most significant toughness for Iron Mountain is its scale and income variation. The northbound decline from that mountain range was actually one thing I will read about a lot of times and one of those spots that offered me the willies. As the growth of technology, you not merely can purchase mountain bike tires to the bike store yet you likewise can possibly do transaction via on the internet purchasing in the net. A fat-tire mtb offers high grip for using in any component: mud, storm, snow, and also ice.

However, rain over and also near Planet's mountain ranges has actually long been actually really complicated to gauge. There'll be talks by much of the Dark Hill authors - Paul Kingsnorth and also Dougald Hine (the founders from the project) as well as terrific poets/thinkers/writers/ doers from the 5 corners of the map.

Attempt not to select too distant hill regions (with the exception of celebration ability). In the sense from the time, we've experienced thousands of referrals coming from vacationers on minube to figure out Europe's most enchanting mountain range towns that global visitors can't skip this winter months. Along with only a few thousand of these animals left in bush, survival really zdrowa-i-piekna.pl isn't effortless, and also preservation initiatives in such cool regions are actually testing. Frequently described as one of the fantastic walks in Ireland, Mweelrea is actually a complicated hill that talks to lots of concerns of those that climb it. When Six Banners revealed which parks this was offering in January 2007, Miracle Mountain was no more among them. Many fantastic sites deserve a mention for example you can easily have Economical air travels to Austria and explore the attractive town in the Alps got in touch with Pinswang.

A lowered 2.1% in the typical lot of domestic Rocky Mountain range Dark chocolate Manufacturing facility franchise stores in operation, partially balanced out by 39.5% rise in shipments to consumers outside our network from franchise business stores.

Latest blog post on www.DonnaMcGee.ie ******'*** On a recent visit to some of my favourite parts of the Irish countryside - Connemara and the Mayo coastline, we came upon this charming site Doolough Valley is located in Co. Mayo along the Wild Atlantic Way. Doo Lough (in Irish meaning “Black Lake’) Driving through the Valley is a unique experience. It is embedded in a mountainous landscape of unspoilt nature - Mweelrea Mountain and Sheeffry Hills. There are two lakes on the east-side, where the Wild Atlantic Way winds its way through. A yearly walk is held along this route in memory of the Doolough dead and to highlight the starvation of the world’s poor, still today. A stone memorial cross can be found on the northern edge of the valley, dedicated to the victims of the “Doolough Tragedy” marking one of the most tragic periods in Irish history. During the Great Famine in 1849, hundreds of people made their way from Louisburgh to Delphi Lodge. Threatened by starvation, their suffering was ignored and they were turned away. Many died from malnutrition on the return journey to Louisburgh. “How can men feel honoured by the humiliation of their fellow beings?” Mahatma Ghandi This question of Mahatma Ghandi is engraved in the cross. . . . . . #irishlandscape #irishartistsofinstagram#irelandinspire #puremagic2019 #irishcontemporaryart #irelandgram #irishartcollector #irishartist #dooloughValley #connemara #mayocounty #donnamcgee #louisburgh #irishartcollector #artlovers #artoriginal #artwork🎨❤ #oilpaintingoninstagram (at Doo Lough (Mayo)) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ZEYqsCSX4/?igshid=115iv5b7oc91h
