At some point over the past
year, or so, I’ve no doubt gone on about Killarney Provincial Park, and how we
spent some years hiking, canoeing, and sketching in the park. That it’s a
wonderful place to explore there can be no doubt, and to reinforce this fact the
Friends of Killarney Park recently made a documentary that tells the story
of how they are following in the footsteps of the Group of Seven to protect and
preserve the pristine Canadian wilderness of lakes, trees, mountains and
wildlife that is Killarney Provincial Park. I recommend that you take a few minutes to watch their video, after which I feel certain that
you’ll understand my passion for Killarney Provincial Park.
The following are a few of my watercolours and drawings made over the years spent sketching and painting in Killarney Provincial Park. My book, IMPRESSIONS - An Artist's Introduction To Killarney Provincial Park, contains many of these drawings and paintings and is available from the Friends' gift shop. All proceeds from the sale of this book go towards helping the Friends with various programs.
