What Are People Saying

"Congratulations on the opening of the gallery and allowing us to see the spectacular new art of Gordon Harrison. We enjoy the work and are proud to have this art in our home and in Canada."

"I am writing you again to say that I am happy to report that when we moved to Nairobi last year, we were able to transport a number of our paintings, and so your painting has once again been prominently displayed in my Kenyan living room! Now my cadre of international and expat friends all admire it when they come to visit...perhaps you would be interested in travelling to Kenya sometime to paint? I look forward to purchasing your book when I return to Canada this summer for a visit!"

"Congratulations on the launching of the Gordon Harrison Gallery. It is with great pride that we note the continued success of an Entrelacois in his chosen profession, knowing that a portion of his inspiration comes from his experiences at Lac des Iles."
Ric Garland
Mayor, Town of Entrelacs, Laurentians

"It was exciting to attend the opening ceremony for New Edinburgh artist Gordon Harrison's art gallery. The event was attended by a large number of people to join in the celebrations. Gordon Harrison and Phil Emond, Gallery Director, talked about the idea of opening a gallery, which had been in planning for about a year. Finding a good location and making sure enough paintings were ready both played a part. Dr. Bruce Firestone also spoke in support of the new gallery. Gordon's choice of subject matter, and effective use of vibrant colours and light and shade, make it no surprise that his art is reminiscent of the Group of Seven. However, Gordon has his own distinctive style. Judging by the sales in the first hour that the gallery was open, this new venture is a great success."

"Gordon Harrison paints the winds and waters and the rocks and fields that are Canada's natural, rugged beauty. His colours seem to glow, and the energy moves through them like a tide. They are vibrant and beautiful, and they're on display at the new Gordon Harrison at 100 Murray Street in the ByWard Market.  See for yourself."

I am sure you are pleased that you are being joined by friends and guests who are celebrating the opening of your gallery and the privilege of viewing your current showing of paintings. Your artistry is a wonderful talent. We are fortunate that you are sharing this gift with us through your original paintings of Canadian landscapes.
