Terry Isaac

1958 - 2019

Most people who know me and watch my blog will know that I have been incredibly influenced by the talent, genius and heart of Terry Isaac. I was so very sad to learn of his passing on July 16th. Terry was a gifted artist and teacher who was very generous with his knowledge and his time. I am honoured to have known him, to have learnt from him and to have called him my friend.

Terry has been chosen as the 2019 Ducks Unlimited Artist of the year.

Columbia Connections

16" x 20" Acrylic on Canvas

In the autumn of 2018 I was commissioned by the RDEK to create a piece of art that would be presented to Ute Juras for her years of service as a member of their board. I was delighted that she had requested one of my paintings. Mount Sabine (locally known as 'Old Baldy') is in the background with the wetlands of the Columbia and the canal in the foreground. In days past, the canal was intended to connect bodies of water in order for boats to pass. In her role as a member of the RDEK and longtime member of council in Canal Flats, Ute Juras made connections with many people and organizations and so I thought this title of Columbia Connections to be very fitting.

CHEERS!

PETUNIA

Today I completed a sketch of me and my dear friend, Violet.

I have lovingly nicknamed her Petunia.

I sketched this from a photo of us taken on my 40th birthday this year.

Violet surprised me by driving from her home in Carstairs, Alberta

 to my home in Canal Flats, B.C., to spend the weekend with me.

 POPPY WORKSHOP

      On Saturday, May 14th a group of ladies joined me at the Headwater's Art Room at the Discovery Center in Canal Flats. We spent a full day together learning to paint in acrylics. Everyone painted from the same reference and yet each creation was different and unique. It was great to see individual styles emerge. 

     

 I would like to thank the Columbia Basin Trust for the grant that we received enabling our art society to offer workshops like these for our community.
