Welcome to Woodside Art Studio!

Jill Pratt is a well known watercolour artist who lives in St. Catharines, in the shadow of the escarpment. It is here that she finds constant and abundant inspiration. Whether painting the shores of Sauble Beach, the rugged trails in Tobermory or the vineyards of Niagara, she hopes her watercolours reflect the love and respect she holds for the land.

HI. I just finished two paintings this week. The first is a familiar theme.. butterflies in the dunes at Sauble Beach. Last year I had two similar paintings which sold quickly. This one offers only one butterfly among the waving grasses. I'm titling it 'Summer Solitude'. It is watercolour, size approx. 14" x 21" unmatted/ unframed.

The second painting is a wintery scene of a sort of mystical pathway. It is watercolour- approx. 10 1/2" x 17 unmatted/unframed."

This is a new Acrylic painting for 2010. It was done at Sauble Beach in early November. Not many people were still around and the beach itself was deserted.It was cold and the painting was completed in the cottage. It has been sold.
