Paintings by John Grey-Noble

Some of you may have been wondering where I have been. I have been battling 'The Black Dog' of depression for almost two years. By November of 2013, I had to stop painting. It has been a long hard battle but I am finally emerging from the shadow of 'The Black Dog'. I would like to thank my family and friends for their continued support over the past two years. I would also like to dedicate this painting to Merete, our friends and Montana who passed away on November 23, 2014. I hope you like it.   'Marriage Rust & Steel'  Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Size: 18" x 24"

  Popped into South Shore Gallery in Sooke yesterday and had a great chat with Jessie Taylor Dodd, the new owner. Great News! The place looks fantastic with some terrific pieces on exhibition. Hand made jewelery, paintings, sculpture, fabric work and more. Beautiful craftsman ship, all visually stunning. 15 of the Artists besides myself will be on display at the Sooke Fine Art Show at the end of July . If you're living in Sooke or headed out our way stop into South Shore Gallery. Afterwards head out to the Shirley Delicious Cafe for a great lunch & coffee, Phillip & Sheena are great hosts. Two more Positives Places in one trip, and well worth the drive. I will soon be displaying my recent work at South Shore Gallery. Jesse is a wonderful artist as well. Originally, a painter she has been working on Fabric/Textile Arts during the past years. Her work is stunning and in 2012, her piece 'Friede, Freude, Eierkuchen' was chosen Best Fibre at the Sooke Fine Art S...

I was notified this morning that two of my pieces have been accepted into the Sooke Fine Art Show for 2014. Good Wood and Vortex will be on display at the exhibition July 25 to August 4. The show and sale is the biggest juried exhibition on Vancouver Island. My pieces were selected by the jurors out of the 1400 entries that were submitted. Come out to Sooke and enjoy the wide variety paintings, sculpture, pottery, jewelery and other items chosen.

  This weekend I have two pieces in the Appetite for Art Show & Sale at the Best Western Prestige in Sooke BC. The executive chef for the Prestige will be creating Art inspired food and wine pairings to compliment the artwork displayed. The two pieces selected are 'Corn Fed' and 'Jack's Place'. 'Jack's Place' is actually shown in miniature in the image above. This should be a very exciting event being creative cooking is one of favourite t hings to do when I am not painting. Unfortunately the dinner is sold out but the show is open to the public at 7pm. I hope to see you there.
