If it weren't for his mother, Thomas Cetnarowski would have ended up a violinist or a car mechanic.

As a child growing up in a small town in Poland, Cetnarowski showed promising artistic talent but his father, a profesional violinist, had dreams of his son following in his footsteps.

"Colony Farm Paintings Showcased"

Pinks, blues, greens and browns leap off the canvas to command attention - and simultaneously peek out from a hiding spot within.

There is a haunting dichotomy to Thomas Cetnarowski's impressionistic oil paintings, as whispers of shadow and bold strokes of colour speak to the ephemeral moods of the seasons.

It's this elemental play on sharp and soft, bright and dark that will be showcased at Place des Arts throughout July, in an exhibit featuring the results of 38-year-old Cetnarowski's yearlong study of Colony Farm Regional Park.

The Coquitlam resident spent months painting in the park after work, chronicling the changing seasons in oil on canvas.

Coquitlam's Colony Farm Park became the place of choice for the Coquitlam based artist Thomas Cetnarowski. Since late spring 2005 he started open air sessions in the park documenting in his oil paintings the nature, and beautiful scenery of this place. Due to the tremendous interest of people visiting the park the web site dedicated to artist painting sessions in Colony Farm Park has been created. You can view finished paintings as well as paintings in progress at: www.artcetnarowski.com.
