Visual Artist: Watercolours
Description
Gord's paintings are inspired by the surrounding landscape. The scenery in Haliburton has been a great source of inspiration for most of his paintings.
His approach is to interpret the essence of his chosen subject rather than producing detailed likenesses of actual places. Watercolour allows Gord to transfer the light and shadow that he photographs in real life to the painting.
Gord is an elected member of the Canadian Society of Painters of Watercolour and the Society of Canadian Artists. He teaches at the Haliburton School of Arts & Design, does workshops for art groups and associations as well as monthly online workshops. He has participated in The Studio Tour – Haliburton Highlands for the past 5 years and you can visit him at Studio F on the 2024 tour.
