Today we have two new portraits by Adrian deRooy! These stunning pieces are sure to turn heads and get attention with their beautiful hats, flowers, and smiles. Adrian loves to experiment with different styles, and is fascinated by how they meld and evolve; this is paramount in order to grow and become unique. Classic meets Abstract meets Avant-Garde.

We’ve just received an amazing new collection of paintings by Mark Berens! These pieces are stunning and must be seen in person! It’s a beautiful day here in Mississauga, so if you’re in the area or passing through, be sure to stop by and take a look.

We have some truly stunning new floral bouquet paintings by Maya Eventov!  If you’re doing some spring renovating and redecorating, take a look at the newest works we’ve just received from Maya for your inspiration!

Harold Braul has created a lovely series of smaller bird paintings, and they’re going very fast! These delightful birds are the perfect finishing touch to any room, and they’re sure to brighten your day.

One relationship which is always with us is the one we share with our mothers. They are our guiding force and are responsible for making us who we are. Mothers also shape our lives and our personalities and crediting them for the same is something one should do at every opportunity. We all have our own individualistic approach in paying tribute to these amazing people in our lives, our mothers, and today is all about them.

Happy Mother’s Day!

It’s true: Moms can be very hard to buy for. So what’s a dad or kid supposed to do? We have a few ideas for you here at Crescent Hill Gallery which will help make it a day she will not soon forget!

Plan Ahead
This is an occasion that should focus on Mom and make her feel really special — like the sun rises and sets on her! Try to think of what she has mentioned throughout the year. You should be making notes of these subtle comments months ahead, so keep a running list.

Take Notes
Set up a memo on your smartphone or leave a pad of paper in a drawer and add items or thoughts to the list as they come up. If you hear her mention her love of tulips, don’t bring home carnations. If you’re looking for some really special flowers that she’ll have forever, take a look at some of the stunning  floral paintings by our artists here at the gallery!

Give what she wants
Mother’s Day is the time to show your mom you understand and appreciate her. So tailor your gift around what she likes – or dislikes. If she likes to shop, buy her a gift certificate for her favourite store . If she hates weeding the garden, surprise her by doing the chore for her.

The bottom line
Just let her know how much you love her and how much you appreciate everything she does for you all year long — it’s the best gift of all!

Happy Friday everyone!  We have a lovely new painting by Miguel Freitas in the gallery today, and it’s just the thing for all of this lovely weather we’re having!

Flowers are starting to bloom everywhere, including right here at Crescent Hill Gallery! We have some lovely new paintings by Emilja Pasagic in the gallery today, so be sure to come by and check them out!
Depending on her mood and what is available in her studio Emilija can incorporate as many as a half dozen elements into each painting. Her technique involves a unique blending of bee’s wax and oil paint applied to paper, board or canvas. In this contemporary application of the ancient technique of encaustic, the paint is sometimes blended into the hot wax, burnt into it or simply painted upon it. She often fuses paper and cloth into the pigments to create textures, and uses gold leaf and various gel mediums to add unique antique effects. The paintings take on depth and mystery with a balanced tension between texture and form.

We have a pair of dazzling new paintings by Maureen McNeil today!  She has started to incorporate new elements into her work, include crystals and pearls…these pieces are a must for any child’s room!

McNeil’s acrylics on canvas put forth a whimsical feel with intended simplicity, which she achieves through contrast and an exciting bold colour palette. McNeil gears her work toward children, although her sports collections, such as The Blue Jays and Maple Leafs have been very well received by more mature audiences.

If you’re out and about in town today, you’ll definitely relate to these wonderful new works by Harold Braul. Get around, go to the market, and live it up!
