Art Fx #14: "Warm Winter Day" by Terri Howell – Huntsville Doppler

Published

 on



Art Fx is a year-long series on Huntsville Doppler featuring Huntsville-area visual artists.

“Warm Winter Day” is a 9″x12″ oil on birch panel of a lake in Algonquin Park.

“I love painting winter scenes because of the intensity of the blue shadows on sunlit warm snow,” says artist, Terri Howell. “This scene could be anywhere in Algonquin or on any Muskoka lake with untouched shoreline. I try to find scenes like this for their universal appeal. We can all relate to a warm spring like day in February.”

About the artist:

“I learned to love painting in kindergarten. It was my absolute favourite activity,” says Terri. “I discovered it again in retirement. I plein art paint with a group of artists, paint from reference in my studio, and still take lessons from my mentor, Janine Marson.”

Terri’s work has been shown and sold at Huntsville Art Society shows at the Algonquin Theatre and at the August Artists of the Limberlost studio tour.

“There’s nothing quite so relaxing and invigorating as pushing buttery oil paint across a canvas with a big brush,” she adds.

Terri has a little studio in Raymond, not far from Utterson.

She can be reached by email at tghowell54@gmail.com, and posts new pieces regularly on Instagram @tghowell54 and Facebook @terrihowellart.

A misspelled memorial to the Brontë sisters gets its dots back at last

Published

 on

 

LONDON (AP) — With a few daubs of a paintbrush, the Brontë sisters have got their dots back.

More than eight decades after it was installed, a memorial to the three 19th-century sibling novelists in London’s Westminster Abbey was amended Thursday to restore the diaereses – the two dots over the e in their surname.

The dots — which indicate that the name is pronounced “brontay” rather than “bront” — were omitted when the stone tablet commemorating Charlotte, Emily and Anne was erected in the abbey’s Poets’ Corner in October 1939, just after the outbreak of World War II.

They were restored after Brontë historian Sharon Wright, editor of the Brontë Society Gazette, raised the issue with Dean of Westminster David Hoyle. The abbey asked its stonemason to tap in the dots and its conservator to paint them.

“There’s no paper record for anyone complaining about this or mentioning this, so I just wanted to put it right, really,” Wright said. “These three Yorkshire women deserve their place here, but they also deserve to have their name spelled correctly.”

It’s believed the writers’ Irish father Patrick changed the spelling of his surname from Brunty or Prunty when he went to university in England.

Raised on the wild Yorkshire moors, all three sisters died before they were 40, leaving enduring novels including Charlotte’s “Jane Eyre,” Emily’s “Wuthering Heights” and Anne’s “The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.”

Rebecca Yorke, director of the Brontë Society, welcomed the restoration.

“As the Brontës and their work are loved and respected all over the world, it’s entirely appropriate that their name is spelled correctly on their memorial,” she said.
