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.

A Great Season

What a wonderful summer this has been! The weather was sublime and it seems to have lasted well into the Fall.
Many thanks to those who decided to forego the beckoning beach and enjoy the Studio Tour in July. It was terrific to see old friends and make some new ones.
Art On The Fence, held the first weekend in August was extra special this year as it was combined with the Art Walk. This meant that all along the High Street, from the Southampton Art Centre  down, were artisans. It was a beautiful day!
The August Show, usually held at Sauble Beach, was replaced with our new Signature Show, held Pumpkinfest Weekend in Port Elgin. It was a new experience for the Shoreline Artists, but one worth pursuing.
So another year of shows is behind us.Thanks to those who purchased my paintings. I hope they bring you much enjoyment over the years.
In October, I was lucky enough to attend an art workshop in Boone, North Carolina with the awesome Frank Francese. It was a fantastic week with such an accomplished and well known painter. I am looking forward to seeing how watching him work will influence my own paintings!
