British Columbia artist currently travelling Vancouver Island with his family. Retired journalist.
Part of our family's recent travels included a trip to Thompson, Manitoba, and a boat ride on Paint Lake, where we had a cabin back in the 80s. This work was inspired by the beautiful shield shore.
"Painting Paint Lake 1", acrylic, 30 x 24. It's available for sale, message me if you're interested!

Took part in several wonderful artists' festivals in Whitehorse. A plein air event in 2012 had us move around town each day for a week. This is a "Taylor House fence", acrylic. In a private collection somewhere in the Yukon. www.boivinarts.com

A swift-flowing mountain stream near Nakusp. It's probably beginning to rise now with spring run-off in the alpine. The creek's name escapes me and apparently AI still doesn't know everything. "The Eddy", 10x12", acrylic, in private collection.

I began painting again while living in the Yukon, a fabulous place of remarkable beauty. Stuck in the studio one winter, I let myself imagine a Yukon landscape. Anyone who's lived in the territory will recognize this place that doesn't exist. 'Yukon Fantasy', acrylic, 24x30, private collection.
