| Moose Jaw Art Guild President Jean Bell shows off young artist Megan Garrett's painting, 'Shades of our Past,' on Dec. 3, 2013. It is one of the pieces in the guild's exhibition, which officially opens on Dec. 5, 2013 and runs until Jan. 5, 2014. Beneath Garrett's painting is the painting 'Birth of the Blues' by Sheila Phillips, who recently turned 80 years old. Bell says those two paintings show the age differences of guild members.

Following the theme ‘blue’ wasn’t easy for Jean Bell.
“Sometimes an artist gets used to working in one palette or they have a preferred palette. For instance, I generally do natural tones and blue is not a colour I work in much,” she said. “It was a challenge and it’s interesting. I found through the process I learned more about myself as an artist … It was just exciting to see how the piece came together in the theme.”
Bell, the president of the Moose Jaw Art Guild, is one of 19 guild members with artwork on display at the exhibition at the Moose Jaw Museum and Art Gallery (MJMAG) until Jan. 5.
