Happy New Year to All


John works in his studio every day.

Here's a sneak preview of what's been keeping him busy for over a month!


An offer to all our customers who own a lithograph

(see list of works in the following table). 

Some of our lithographs tend to be sensitive to light, and your copy may have turned blue over time, gradually losing all its other colors.  In this case, we will replace your reproduction.  Either bring it to the gallery, or send us by e-mail or post a photo of the litho (to assess the damage) and a photo of the serial number.  The reproduction will be at our expense, but we ask that you pay the cost of packaging and postage ($40.00). We also strongly suggest that you replace the glass you currently have with a “conservation” glass that blocks 99% UV rays, and that you ensure that the work does not receive direct sunlight.

Catalogue 28 Les Gaspésiennes.  Here you have two choices... We replace the litho under the conditions described above.  Or we replace it with a giclée reproduction of the same size.  At this point we ask for a fee of $75.00 plus postage $40.00.  We have always been disappointed by the fact that, despite the printer's assurances, this litho is not lightfast. As we had access to the original watercolour, we made a high quality giclée reproduction which, like our other giclées, is very lightfast. It will be important to send us the corner bearing the reproduction number as the new  giclée print will bear this number.

We have been pleasantly surprised at the interest shown for our growing assortment of greeting cards available through our gallery. The cards mostly represent John's paintings and drawing, though we also have a series depicting some of the wonderful agates and jasper we’ve collected from local beaches. For those who may be interested in purchasing cards, they are priced at $6.00 each, or $29.95 for a pack of six; applicable tax and shipping extra. We have some selected sets in six-packs depicting owls, warblers, winter landscapes and many other themes. You can also pick your own preferences by referring to the web site catalogue. Simply make reference to the images of your choice along with the catalogue numbers.
The cards measure 5’’ X 7’’ (12,7cm X 17.8cm). They are printed on archival card stock using the same light-fast inks used to produce our limited edition prints.  All our cards are produced here in our shop. They are individually prepared and packed and we are the sole distributor.

The gallery exhibit comprises original watercolours, pencil drawings and a wide and varied selection of limited edition prints. Also on display is a wonderful selection of banded marble sculptures by the late Roland Nicolas – all works he made from  locally hand picked stone here in the Gaspé.  We also present my  selection of  hand made knitted-ware; mitts, hats, bags etc.

This summer we are expanding the exhibit of minerals to include a selection of our local and world wide AGATES.

So there is plenty to see and all are invited to our 35th year since opening the gallery.

Meanwhile, we hope you enjoy perusing our web site.

 We are open daily from 9am to 6pm. ENTRANCE IS FREE

Cheers,
John & Lucie
