Peg McCarthy Photography

Peg McCarthy Photography Portraiture in natural light studio or outdoor shooting space; on location, day-in-the-life photogra OShoot Photo is my natural light photography studio.

I am located in the rolling hills of Northumberland County, an hour outside of Toronto, Ontario and while I love shooting in my sunlit studio space, I am also very happy to visit you in your home or at a location where you wish to be photographed. My work is primarily portraits of real people in real places, be it on their wedding day, dressed for the office, or spending time with their family. I

love photographing families playing and interacting in their own spaces. My professional portrait photography and editorial work is regularly used for website and other printed and digital marketing materials. A background in journalism helps me to capture and document the moments as they happen. I believe that no matter what I am photographing you for, my job is to capture the authentic you. I have two websites - oshootphoto.com and pegmccarthyphotography.com

Melanie’s work is so beautiful- rich, soft, emotional.

It’s , where we share art and objects from our Permanent Collection! Today we are looking at Conversation on the Topic of White using oil on paper by Melanie Browne.

Melanie Browne is a Canadian artist residing in Port Hope, Ontario who has been exhibiting her work throughout Northumberland County, Peterborough, and Toronto for more than 20 years. She has a master’s degree in art history, worked previously at the Port Hope Public Library and is now a fulltime visual artist teaching parttime covering basic colour theory, composition, and drawing. As captured in an interview with the Northumberland Festival of the Arts, Browne describes art as ‘a felt thing’ and ‘a moment of looking at a painting where you feel this aesthetic movement’.

Today we are looking at Conversation on the Topic of White, an undated oil on paper featuring a still life that Browne is known to prefer. Within this work of art, a small bowl takes centre stage, but in an unassuming and mild mannered way. The use of varying white tones presents a calm and serene tranquility to the painting. While still lifes depict mostly inanimate subject matter from the natural or man-made world, they also allow the artist the freedom to experiment with the arrangement of elements within a composition of a painting. There is a certain magic to still life paintings that Browne is seemingly aware of as she takes us on a journey to view the bowl, a rather ordinary object, in another way. Do you feel an aesthetic movement?

Browne's work can be found at the Art Gallery of Northumberland and has been showcased at many art festivals and galleries across Northumberland County, Peterborough and Toronto.
