Rideau Trail Club had a winter moonlit walk over the weekend - organizers from Kingston stayed at TLC Bed and Breakfast. What a great idea! And there is a snow shoeing moonlit walk coming up at the Quarry March 1.

Thank you for liking my page my wonderful friends and guests. TLC is a great place to be to connect and make good memories for US as well as you. You are all great! The cream of the cream of the crop! 15 years this year!

"When people view my unique sculptures for the first time, I want my work to transport their imagination to a place that’s familiar and comfortable to them. A location that they may have valued as a child, and still strive to return to in order to seek solace in the peace and calmness of unspoiled landscapes. As the changing light passes through each piece, it is my hope that the images, and written descriptions, touch the emotions of each viewer who comes in contact with them. I strive to use my words and sculptures to inspire others to become more active stewards of this Earth, and develop a greater sensitivity for the needs of all who share its precious and fragile riches." Biography Peter Allan Rice was born in Toronto in 1955, but spent most of his childhood years living in rural locations within or around the great Canadian Shield. The early influence of playing and exploring among the rocks, water, and trees were to have a strong influence on his art in later years. Peter's love for artistic interpretation led him to obtain a degree in Visual Arts at Guelph University in 1977. Here, under the guidance of artists such as Walter Bachinski and John Fillion, he was able to study and experiment with all varieties of artistic expression in his search for his ideal medium. That search ended a number of years later with glass and stone, and more specifically, sculpture. Peter began to create his own unique images of the pines and waterways that had been a big part of his life while growing up. His earlier pieces were created on a more traditional two-dimensional plane, depicting sweeping skies, and wind blown pines. After learning the basics of glass work from others, Peter was self-taught in this medium. His desire to grow and explore the sculptural possibilities of stained glass, resulted in him experimenting with the angling of sections of glass to create three-dimensional effects. He began to place wire and glass pine trees apart from the flat background, so they became a silhouetted image in both hanging and free-standing pieces. Peter's strong desire to create a technique he could truly call his own, led him to the development of his present technique. The use of granite and quartz bases for his work, anchor the swirls of glass and metal to create sculptural landscapes totally unseen before in this medium. Realism and abstract subjects are both represented in his work, and the selection of the perfect glass and the attention to the smallest detail make his pieces truly one of a kind. Peter’s sculptures are in collections throughout North America and Europe, and he has had showings at the National Arts Centre, as well as representing his work regularly, over the last two decades, at The Algonquin Arts Centre with many of Canada’s foremost wildlife artists.Because of the natural subject matter of his pieces, he has had the opportunity to place his work in many smaller galleries throughout Ontario, predominately in the Muskoka and Ottawa Regions. Due to some recent changes in his life, he has been able to show his work at group shows such as, the outdoor Muskoka Arts and Crafts Show in Bracebridge, and The One of a Kind Show in Toronto. Peter is pleased to be showing his work at the beautiful Perivale Gallery, on Manitoulin Island, this season, and hopes that your travels take you to this not to be missed gallery in the woods. As the changing light passes through his glass sculptures, the beauty of a misty Muskoka morning, the pristine freshness of snow covered pines, or an Algonquin landscape ablaze in autumn's glory, can be fully enjoyed and appreciated time and again.
