Artist Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n A life-long obsession with the growth pattern of trees manifest itself through the contrasting values of sunlight and shadow. Back lit foregrounds revel in stylized motifs reaching for a voice in the iconic Canadian landscape. Reflections of bygone days reminisce of Thomson, MacDonald and A.J. Casson.<\/p>\n I celebrate watercolour’s most powerful attributes: transparency in layers, (for emulation of crystal clear water), darker tonal values and hard edges, to worship the brilliance of the sun’s rays. Often you will see a plethora of bold colour, ruthless in its mission to draw you in for a harder look.<\/p>\n I paint like I do to encourage younger artists to be daring enough to experiment and think outside the box. Originality is the cornerstone of discovery.<\/p>\n Artist Biography<\/strong><\/p>\n Douglas Wayne Williamson is a self-taught Canadian landscape artist best known for his exploratory works in the water colour medium. He captures the brilliance of the sun using darker tonal values, brazen coloured compositions, and often using harder edges. Celebrating crystal clear water by painting in layers, dominant backlighting motifs, tree stylization and strong line representation are common themes. Wayne’s influences include Tom Thomson and The Group of Seven, aboriginal Cree artist Norval Morrisseau and like J.E.H MacDonald before him, Vincent Van Gogh.<\/p>\n Retired from Canada post in 2016, he spends spring and summer (aside from plein air painting and field sketching trips) organic gardening with his wife Jean on 2.5 acres of beautiful gardens in Acamac. In the fall and winter he works up these sketches into larger works in his woodstove equipped studio. Wayne has been painting since 1998.<\/p>\n [columnize]<\/p>\n 1\u00a0 <\/span>Midnight Magic<\/a><\/p>\n 2\u00a0 <\/span>Young Maple Pollett River<\/a><\/p>\n 3\u00a0 <\/span>First Light Acamac<\/a><\/p>\n 4\u00a0 <\/span>Charlotte County Shoreline<\/a><\/p>\n 5\u00a0 <\/span>1945 Crooked Creek # 3<\/a><\/p>\n 6\u00a0 <\/span>Hermit Falls Albert County<\/a><\/p>\n 7\u00a0 <\/span>Mountain Ash at Musquash Estuary<\/a><\/p>\n 8\u00a0 <\/span>Clarendon Falls I<\/a><\/p>\n 9\u00a0 <\/span>Staghorn Sumac on Big Salmon River II<\/a><\/p>\n 10\u00a0 <\/span>A Blaze of Sunshine Fundy Shoreline<\/a><\/p>\n 11\u00a0 <\/span>Painters Paradise<\/a><\/p>\n 12\u00a0 <\/span>Fuller Falls St. Martins N.B.<\/a><\/p>\n 13\u00a0 <\/span>Sun Showered Spruce Lake<\/a><\/p>\n 14\u00a0 <\/span>Ghost Trees at Mushquash Head (not for sale)<\/a><\/p>\n 15\u00a0 <\/span>Red Maple Morning<\/a><\/p>\n 16\u00a0 <\/span>Brook on the Haunted Hollow<\/a><\/p>\n 17\u00a0 <\/span>Pin Cherry and Sumac at Public Landing (not for sale)<\/a><\/p>\n 18\u00a0 <\/span>Simpson Falls on Kierstead Mountain<\/a><\/p>\n 19\u00a0 <\/span>Northern Lights Acamac<\/a><\/p>\n 20\u00a0 <\/span>Woodland Interior (Charmichael\u2019s Canopy)<\/a><\/p>\n 21\u00a0 <\/span>Late Show Acamac<\/a><\/p>\n 22\u00a0 <\/span>Mary Anne\u2019s Hole III<\/a><\/p>\n 23\u00a0 <\/span>Islands in the Musquash<\/a><\/p>\n 24\u00a0 <\/span>Sunrise on the Wolastoq<\/a><\/p>\n 25\u00a0 <\/span>Tranquility (Spruce Lake)<\/a><\/p>\n 26\u00a0 <\/span>Cedar Reflections Acamac<\/a><\/p>\n 27\u00a0 <\/span>Moon Struck II (not for sale)<\/a><\/p>\n 28\u00a0 <\/span>Woodland Waterfall Codys<\/a><\/p>\n 29\u00a0 <\/span>Sky on Fire Sunset St. John River<\/a><\/p>\n 30\u00a0 <\/span>Northern Lights (not for sale)<\/a><\/p>\n 31\u00a0 <\/span>Cold Day Spruce Lake<\/a><\/p>\n 32\u00a0 <\/span>The Birch Grove (After Tom Thomson)<\/a><\/p>\n
