INA BLACK who has had a life-long interest in art creates traditional watercolour to modern abstract works and had many talented instructors to thank for their help and encouragement While traveling across, and photographing our beautiful Canadian country, I found myself drawn to preserving the memories of our landscapes and/or buildings in my paintings.
From the rugged Rocky Mountains, the foothills, the prairies with their unending plains and aged wooden grain storage buildings, the rocky and wooded shorelines of Northern Ontario, the towering lighthouses of the Great Lakes, the Rideau Canal’s locks with their amazing stone work, the Laurentian Hills and the streetscapes of Old Quebec, the time worn fishing sheds of the Maritime Provinces are all subjects of my paintings.
The serene lakes interrupted by the magnificent call of the Loon and the rushing rivers with fish hurrying upstream to spawn, the beauty of nature’s flowers, still life, aged rural barns or antique automobiles are other favourite subjects of my work in either watercolour or acrylic.
