…. Ray Cattell
Ray with his granddaughter and daughter.
On Saturday I had the pleasure of going to Ray Cattell’s opening for his latest group of paintings at the Moore Gallery in Toronto. I’ve known Ray for over 20 years and he never ceases to amaze me with his beautiful collection of paintings. He’s been displaying his work since the 1960’s.
We were all surprised that he wanted to do one more show. Most of the paintings are smaller than what he’s produced in years past but with his recent health issues it’s not surprising. He also recently won an award at a juried art show to add to his list of numerous awards granted to him in his lifetime. Some of his work can be found in the Vatican LIbrary, Windsor Castle and in the private collections of The Prince of Wales, Queen Elizabeth and Henry Ford II.
If you’re in Toronto between Dec 1 and Dec. 22 you can catch the show at the Moore Gallery on 80 Spadina Ave. For more details you can go to the website: Moore Gallery Ltd.

Wow, the Pollock Gallery was one of the very first galleries that Ray showed his work. His daughter wants to know if you still like the painting. They have no digital record of what that painting looked liked and she wondered if you could send a photo for their archives. You could send it to me at :

As for the value, Ray said ii’s whatever someone is willing to pay you for it.
