Watercolours by international award winning artist Darcy Polny

  The long awaited watercolour art show "There is Still Life", is set to take place October 28, 29, 30 2022. The Derrick Golf and Winter Club, 3500 119 St NW in Edmonton has been chosen as the event venue. The atmosphere and friendly staff make this a perfect showcase for my work.  The Derrick Club provides amenities to the community that help add to the quality of life for it's members. My mother worked here as a waitress years ago providing us with the essentials of life. My show "There is Still Life" reflects these qualities.
​I take discarded objects that I find in antique stores and repurpose them by placing them in settings that give them new life. With all the unpleasantness in the world as an artist I want to create a body of work that people will find some amazement, in a pleasant way.

There is a story to be seen in everything created by nature and man that takes the viewer on a personal journey
There is a story to be seen in everything created by nature and man that takes the viewer on a personal journey. Empty perfume bottles with glass birds that were lifted by a gentle hand from their perch. A fragrance released to the air that signaled an exotic person had just entered or left the room. Weary storm windows that once protected families from the elements or provided an avenue for a late night rendezvous. Complex flowing tapestries over glass reflect glimpses of busy lives. Female figures console each other in this time, or perhaps a mother and daughter reunion. Light passes through antique glass vases spilling out long colorful shadows that give them a rich new life. My paintings are more than still lifes, they say to the viewer... “There’s still life.” You just have to see things through new eyes.
  The work I am doing now is the culmination of everything that I have done and everything that has made me who I am. Every illustration for clients and everything that my wife and I have done or collected in our lives all play a roll in what fuels my creative voice.
