The work measures 36 x 36 inches and is painted using acrylics on canvas. The work is meant to engage the viewer in the complexities of the natural world and simultaneously hint at an abstraction of movement and colour.

The Masters Gallery/Boulevard Magazine

In March, Randolph Parker had a major profile written by Shelagh Plunkett on his paintings published in BOULEVARD Magazine, Volume XIII / Issue 3 / March-April / 2005. (Read the Text from this article) under Biography in this web site.
The article included five paintings, never seen before, which would be available at his upcoming art exhibitions taking place at the Masters Gallery, Calgary and the Mayberry Gallery in Winnipeg, starting April 9th and 10th respectively.
Success for Parker: The Masters Gallery in Calgary had a sold out opening of Parkers paintings on April 9th. The line up of people who waited at the door were rewarded for their patience with some outstanding paintings. Parkers’ exhibition was the first opening at the Masters Gallery new location. The Mayberry Gallery in Winnipeg had a near sold-out opening on April 10th. Between the two galleries fifty-four of Parkers’ paintings were sold that weekend.
