"Rustic Barn-board Santas," painted by Midale artist Bev Sobush-Melby, is on view from now until Christmas.Sobush-Melby has been a serious painter for many years.Although her medium of choice has traditionally beenwatercolours, she hasrecently also become fond ofacrylic painting.

An admirerof rustic art and the effect that the materials have on the artwork, Sobush-Melby was naturally inspired to add barn-board paintings to her range of talents.She felt that barn-board provided the perfecttexture to add detailed expression and character to her Santa faces.

Each face is one-of-a-kind and expressions are dictated by the individual piece of barn-board.Sobush-Melby's Santa's are painted in acrylics.
