Slow Art Sunday - Carr

“Trees love to toss and sway; they make such happy noises.”  Emily Carr

Today, Slow Art Sunday is observing Earth Day from deep within a west coast forest.  Emily Carr’s lush and gorgeous greens shine in the painting she named “Indian Church” (1929).  In 2018 it was renamed “Church at Yuquot Village” by the Art Gallery of Ontario, where it now finds its permanent home.  This particular painting came at a transitional point in Carr’s career as she was moving from watercolour to experimenting with oils and also from an Indigenous focus to more of the land. She loved the water, sky and forests of British Columbia and once said “Oh the West! I’m of it and I love it!”
