“Nobody can do the purple shadows on snow banks with more glow and enchantment than Micheal Zarowsky.https://zarowsky.net If you can’t get to the show, you owe it to yourself to visit his website and drool over his paintings of snow-laden bowers. His paintings of Paris could also be called landscapes (or cityscapes): a hazy Eifel tower looming behind lacy foliage.”

“His bicycle studies, too, are marvels of colour and shape. www.zarowsky.net 

Hi: Your work has been mentioned in my review at http://www.dilettantesdiary.com/

“ One could use the word “love” with regard to Micheal Zarowsky’s painting too. You might not have thought this could happen, but his depiction of lush white snowdrifts with their blue-ish shadows, overlooking some dark water can make you long for winter. www.zarowsky.net “

You get a very different take on winter in the resplendent watercolours of Micheal Zarowsky, where the blue shadows make the snowbanks dazzle. I was pleased to see a certificate in Mr. Zarowksy’s booth indicating that one of his paintings had been chosen for a special purchase award by a show sponsor. (His paintings of collections of bicycles, delicately executed in gorgeous colours, have a beauty all their own.) www.zarowsky.net

snowsick1 has made a comment on Boats Micheal Zarowsky Watercolours Slideshow 4 revised:Amazing! I am out of words. Can anybody tell me how many years should one study (and where) to get such a mastership and perfect command of watercolor? It is a very difficult media. Wonderful hues, wonderful objects and shapes! Just perfect, may be even better :)You can reply to this comment by visiting the comments page.

As readers of Dilettante’s Diary will know, I have a soft spot for the work of Micheal Zarowsky. His way with watercolour is like no one else’s. In a technique somewhat like pointillism – but not quite – he builds up his watercolours with tiny patches of pigment in such a way that the light in them dazzles. His landscapes and water scenes have always thrilled me but the arrival of some studies of bicycles this year is especially exciting. www.zarowsky.net

TAG ART GALLERY LISTING MARCH 2010   Micheal Zarowsky

The artist describes his unique medium, watercolours painted directly on gessoed Norwegian birch panels: “(Although) working on gessoed panels isn’t much fun, being akin to painting on a kitchen countertop, with every stroke beading up, streaking (and) smearing — misbehaving like so much spilt, coloured water — . . . I am dazzled by the new textures, and the strength, immediacy and directness that results. . .

“To secure the watercolour, I apply two coats of spray fixative, and two coats of matte varnish (as with an oil or an acrylic) to seal it.

“I find myself, for a brief moment anyway, in a unique position, creating something never done before.”

His works are finished by painting tops, bottoms and sides, giving a wrap-around effect. As such, they can be hung in a float frame or without a frame.

Toronto art critic Ian Andrew Malcom has described the artist as having “an uncanny ability to isolate the essence of a landscape, and then illuminate the small part of the whole, which becomes the very symbol of that which it represents. That is what abstraction is all about.

“(But) the genius of Micheal Zarowsky is that he presents the effect of abstraction while he is actually painting in a realistic way some isolated element (which) signifies, with utmost economy, the wider scene.”

Micheal Zarowsky lives in Toronto and has been painting for several decades. Recently, he has exhibited works at galleries in Toronto, Stouffville and Owen Sound and at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition.

Mediums: watercolours painted directly on gessoed Norwegian birch panels

Just wanted to let you know that I got the item about your offer posted on Dilettante’s Diary.

It was such a pleasure spending some time with you and Wendy yesterday and drooling over your marvellous watercolours! Thanks so much for your hospitality.

We love the Venice painting. I haven’t had a chance to show Jane the jpeg of the winter scene because I’m working on the old computer now and the colour on screen isn’t good enough. The better computer isn’t available now because our daughter-in-law is resting in that bedroom, not feeling very well today. But we presume she’ll be recovered for the trip to Sarnia on Easter.

Eventually, I’ll get a chance to show Jane the jpeg and we can appreciate it together and think about it.

All best wishes to both of you, P.

http://www.dilettantesdiary.com/id145.html   Wondrous Watercolours by Micheal Zarowsky

We don’t tend to post commercial blurbs here on Dilettante’s Diary, but I can’t help passing on this news from artist Micheal Zarowksy. You may recall mention of his excellent work in recent reviews of “The Artist Project” and other shows. He’s one of the few artists who has developed a truly distinctive way of seeing and conveying the world’s beauty. Many of his watercolours are on paper but others are painted on prepared birch panels, by means of a special technique he has invented; this means they don’t have to be framed under glass.

Now Mr. Zarowsky tells me he’s making the rare offer of selling his works at reductions of 50% or more. If you care about watercolours of exceptional quality, give your eyes a treat and visit his website: www.zarowsky.net. The website will tell you how to contact him about buying a painting. ________________________________________________________________________

I was also impressed by Micheal Zarowsky’s watercolour landscapes, above, painted on gessoed birch panels; some of Zarowsky’s work pushes towards abstraction and it exudes a textural quality that sets it apart

Piekne: picture of outstanding significance, a revelation, a new way of showing reality or to reveal undercover and subtle phantasies, with a correct framing and a perfect balance of shadows and light, enhanced by a correct resolution, saturation and exposition, with an original point of view and a good depth of field, vibrant colours or a great contrast of black and white, composed with a general harmony of lines and shapes\

Dilettante’s Diary     STAND-OUTS OF 2008   ART

In a way, this category is the easiest one in which to chose the year’s stand-outs. You may have been looking at an artist’s work for some five or ten minutes and yet, here you are several months later, with a vivid impression of it in your mind. Several artists I discovered this year had such an impact on me.

But first, some favourites from previous years that we were happy to see again. At the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition (Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition 2008) it was good to re-visit the marvellous encaustic abstracts of David Brown. As examples of the fine art of watercolour, Micheal Zarowsky’s dazzling landscapes are always a feast for the eyes..

APRIL 16/08   Dilettante’s Diary /  Review by Patrick Donohue

http://www.dilettantesdiary.com/id92.html   Micheal Zarowsky (Watercolours) Leonardo Gallery, 133 Avenue Road, Toronto, April 18-19

Readers of this website will remember Micheal Zarowsky’s name from several previous reviews of art shows. With meticulous detail, Mr. Zarowsky captures the dazzling effects of light on trees, flowers and water. (To feast your eyes, check out: www.zarowsky.net) Some of his paintings of long shadows cast on snow by groves of evergreens are enough to bring tears to the eyes of anybody who has the Canadian landscape in his or her heart. The extraordinary thing about these watercolours is that they’re painted on panels of Norwegian Birch that have been prepared with gesso (a hard surface, something like plaster). Mr. Zarowsky tells me that he pioneered this technique because so many art buyers these days turn up their noses at watercolours painted on paper and framed under glass. These new paintings, then, have a solidity that you don’t usually associate with watercolours. What you lose in softness and transparency, you gain in immutability. But I’m glad to say that this show includes some of Mr. Zarowsky’s earlier watercolours on paper – still very painstakingly worked and dancing with light – of streets and gardens in Paris.

Review by Patrick Donahue of The Artist Project Show – March 2008http://www.dilettantesdiary.com/id90.html

Some artists whom I know from previous TAE shows have de-camped to the new show. Micheal Zarowsky’s dazzling watercolours keep pushing the envelope by way of taking the medium in new directions [zarowsky.net]. His pain-stakingly meticulous nature studies capture the beauty of the outdoors with a unique vibrancy….._________________________________________________________________________

and it’s on the “March 17/06” page. The website is popular with many readers and readership has been growing rapidly. Patrick Donohue)

Among the watercolourists (my favourite genre), the prize for the best work, in my view, would go to Michael Zarowsky for his dazzling series of interiors from Paris: chairs and tables in brilliant colours, dappled with sunlight in the perfect expression of sketchy watercolour technique, somewhat in the style of John Singer Sargent.

Watercolours painted directly on gessoeod Norwegian birch panels.

Never one to be contained by any medium, we have over the years made continuous leaps forward to take the watercolour  medium in new directions opening new possibilities, and have once again done so here. I am now painting with watercolours directly on gessoed norwegian birch panels. Working on gessoed panels isn’t much fun, being akin to painting on kitchen counter top with every stroke beading up streaking, smearing, misbehaving like so much spilt coloured water, but I am dazzled by the new textures, the strength, immediacy and directness that results, (and my work on paper is strong).The paintings are finished by painting around the edges and as such can be hung without a frame or floated in a float frame. To secure the watercolour I lightly apply 2 coats of spray fixative, and once dry, lay on 2 coats of matt varnish, just as any oil or acrylic, to seal it permanently against the elements. Having scoured the internet for anyone else working in the same way, & unable to find a soul painting watercolours directly onto gessoed panels, I find myself, for a brief moment anyways, in a unique position creating something never been done before.

Open Water 2006 (Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour, John B. Aird Gallery, 900 Bay St — Macdonald block, main floor just off the lobby, Toronto, until November 24)

As is our usual practice in the case of a show in which we are an exhibitor, we have turned the reviewing duties over to our dear Aunt Agnes to ensure complete impartiality.

Let’s not kid ourselves about why my nephew Patrick asked me to review this show. He wants you to know that he has been selected to appear among this elite group of very distinguished watercolourists but he wants to pretend to be too humble to brag about it himself. He certainly is in very good company this time. You could say that this annual show by the CSPWC shows the best watercolours from across Canada in any given year. Not just Canada, though. The show is open to submissions from around the world. This year, entries came from the US, Malaysia and Singapore, as well as Canada. From over 300 entries, the jurors selected just 39 pictures.

Many of them are stunning, especially the prize-winners. Take Micheal Zarowsky’s “Sunlit Hillside” (Yes, that’s the way he spells his first name.): a snowy expanse with blue shadows and brilliant sun on some bare bushes. Patrick tells me he has been admiring Mr. Z’s paintings after discovering them last year and this one really takes the cake! First prize in the show went to Jennifer Annesley for “Diocletian’s Palace” – it’s an unusual look upwards (as if you were craning your neck) at a sort of gilded dome in an ornate setting, with light pouring through a window. Patrick says it’s the odd angle of the composition that makes it such a striking picture. Another prize-winner, Vivian Thierfelder paints luscious red and orange fruits with drops of dew on them so real that you want to lick them off.

April 9^th, 2006, Review by Patrick Donahue in the WWW.Dilettantesdiary.com

Micheal: Just posted some appreciative comments about your show on dilettantesdiary.com. I enjoyed chatting with Wendy yesterday. Patrick

Micheal Zarowsky (Paintings) Niagara Gallery, 254 Niagara St., Toronto

A sampling of Micheal Zarowky’s watercolours wow’d me at the recent Toronto Art Expo (see review below ), so I jumped at the chance to see a solo show of his recent paintings. Here’s work that shows you what’s happening in the forefront of the watercolour movement.

Most of the works are done in something like a pointillist style – tiny patches of colour working together to build a picture. The medium, for the most part, isn’t used in a very transparent way; it almost approaches gouache in its effect. Up close, it can be hard to make sense of the busy interaction of dots on the canvas but you stand back and you see, for instance, an ornate Paris apartment building emerging above a wrought iron gate. The building is not by any means rendered with photographic realism; it’s more of a suggestion of the building. The main point of the picture is the dazzle of light, which creates the effect of life pulsing in the scene. Apart from the many Paris pictures (views from a balcony, a hidden garden, etc.), there are several magnificent pictures of snow-laden woods and Georgian Bay scenes. The colours in most of these pictures are rather cool but one of the warmer ones shows a stream near Byng Inlet dancing in the light of the setting sun.

The show includes some works in a somewhat more traditional style: broad swatches of colour, more free-flowing, less painstaking. A few stokes render a sunlit couch against a window. Another picture captures an interior against a moonlit sky. My favourite is a very simple picture of two yellow chairs and a table on a patio where the play of light and shadow takes your breath away. It’s one of the smaller pictures. Just the right size for me
