Behind the Brush

Artist / Winnipeg, Canada

  Chris creates semi-representational landscape and flower paintings in oil, acrylic and watercolour that use expressive colour and light … sprinkled with a touch of whimsy.

Art For Every Room

I have always been an admirer of the brushstrokes and techniques of Chinese/Japanese art and will often incorporate some line work influenced by those cultures.

​

Growing up on the Canadian prairies and having a family cottage in Lake of the Woods, Ontario, has provided me with landscapes that offer a kaleidoscope of colours and amazing light to provide never ending inspiration.  This home turf coupled by some pretty amazing world trips have become my painting catalogue.

A PAINTER'S OASIS

I spend about 4 to 5  months a year painting in my She-Shed on Mackie’s Island near Kenora, Ontario.  It’s my favorite place in the world.
