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.

Summer's Over!

Time flies when you're having fun and what a great season it has been!
I will have to backtrack a bit as I have not been very conscientious about keeping this blog updated!
The Shoreline Artists August Show was a great success, not only personally, but for the organization. I am very grateful to those who came to view the art and those who purchased my paintings. I only hope that I can paint a new collection for the Spring that will inspire and please you.I have a few ideas already!
One of the paintings that sold this summer was a thrill for not only me, but my dear Mum. At 88 years young, she loves to go rock hunting, pocketing many to line up on a shelf somewhere. We found a lovely quarry and she was in heaven! So many small rocks to inspect! I painted the spot...her spot... and she called the painting "Leave No Stone Unturned". It sold when I had gone home for a bite.....Hoping whoever bought it will enjoy the story.
