WORKS BY West Vancouver ar-
tist Rod Gildersleeve will be
displayed at the West Vancouver
municipal hal) for the month of
August.

Featuring scenes from the West
Yancouver and Howe Sound areas,
Gildersleeve’s works capture the
feelings of the scenes he consigns
to canvas.

One of Giidersleeve’s recent ex-
hibitions at the Old Custoins
House Gallery at Britannia Beach
had many of the works at home in
the area where they were painted.

But, as are the paintings, the
newly restored gallery building —
once an old customs house — is
also a work of art.

“It's a real gem,'' said
Gildersleeve.

“It’s a beautiful old house
which we renovated,’’ proprietor
Milada Dohnulek said of the
building, which was built about
1909.

In addition to sometimes featur-
ing Gildersleeve’s works, the
gallery aiso has a selecticn of
works by Canadian Robert Genn,
Karl Wood, Ute Hagen and others.

The Old Customs House Gallery
will also be featuring photographs
by Michael and Kathy Dohnalek.
