How do we remember a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a grandfather, and a mentor, who has touched us deeply? The flash of a sun fish, a loon’s call, and a paddle’s ripple on Algonquin’s pristine waters, will always take us to special times spent with a father amongst nature’s wonders. Flirtations with coloured glass, and constant encouragement, inspired the artists in all of us. His roots embraced those in his life, and released them to shine like polished pebbles on a beach with endless possibilities. We will see him in the smiles of a grandchild, and in a gentle caress. Colour blindness was only a label, as a never ending spectrum of warmth and compassion followed all of those he touched. A leaf bathed in golden hues remind us of a life partner he held so dear. Crimson light tell of offspring, and their partners, thought of in the highest regard, while youthful greens of emerald and jade promise a never ending legacy of love. Your Maple tree was cut down, but never will it die. Your memory is forever entrusted, and will thrive in the strong and unbreakable limbs of the living tree.
Shadows grow shorter as the sun rises over a northern vista. Seven unique painters discover paths and waterways once traversed by Canada’s aboriginal people. They search to record the unspoiled landscapes before them, while avoiding human encroachment and the stripping of its forest splendour. Depictions of Autumn foliage ablaze in crimson hues, ice flows, Granite outcroppings, and windswept Pines meet the gaze of city dwellers in ways never seen before. Images painted on canvas and wood grace gallery walls, and remind us of these natural treasures. Continue to be stewards of this place, and stand strong against all who would exploit its riches. This is the message of the mentors.
Messengers of different kinds deliver news that brings joy into our lives, but much too often they also come with news of loss and future suffering. The icebergs of the North Atlantic are awe inspiring, and a sight of natural beauty, but they are also messengers of a climate change that quite possibly could effect the globe we live on. Since 1979, when satellite record keeping began, Arctic sea ice has been disappearing, due to greenhouse gases, by about 38,000 square miles annually. The messenger will continue to knock on our doors, but whether we heed the warning and act is up to all of us. This is the challenge of The Messenger.
Brush strokes record this primal land in ways unseen before. Colour and textures are borrowed from the landscapes with imaginative flare, as thoughts of profit are replaced by the appreciation of nature’s priceless gifts. Seek the patience and understanding of names such as Thomson, Jackson, and Harris, as you pass through these lands. Their memories live forever in brief moments bathed in sunlit splendour and cloud shrouded mystery. Take time to pause, reflect, and admire this gift presented to all of us by the painter.
