Fleeting-Exalting the Ephemeral* (Juried Show)

*Accepted in the juried art show Fleeting-Exalting the Ephemeral. The theme of the show is to explore the nature of the fleeting, the transitory, and the ephemeral - qualities that define experiences, moments, and states Exhibition Dates: July 25-Sep 14, 2025 Location: Metchosin ArtPod Art Gallery 4495 Happy Valley Rd., Metchosin, British Columbia, Canada Title: Fleeting Mountain This mountain scene explores the fleeting nature of perception. Though fixed and enduring, mountains rarely appear the same to us. Shifting light and atmospheric elements temporarily transform even this most permanent feature of the landscape. It reminds us that something so massive can also feel momentary. Changing seasons, weather, and even our moods influence how we experience it, shaping what we see, remember, and feel. Intentionally capturing this in a small painting heightens the contrast between the mountain’s physical scale and its fleeting presence as it passes through our perception. The viewer is invited to reflect on the transient beauty of a mountain that, even while always present, can also be fleeting and ephemeral. Mixed Media: Texturized watercolor composed on three sections of Arches paper, visually mounted on deckled-edge 100% cotton Khadi paper and floating-mounted with archival, acid-free foam board on a texturized canvas.
