Painting Title: Cliffside Arbutus
- Howe Sound, BC

Artist: Dr. DM Flather, FCA

Painting Size: 27" x 36"

Painting Materials: Oil on panel

Painting Date: 1972

Along BC's 'Sea to Sky Highway' that winds along the mountainside between West Vancouver and Squamish, BC, beautiful reddish coloured evergreen Arbutus trees can be found dotted along the roadside. Shown here is the framed view of this painting.

It realistically shows the actual beautifully coloured Ocean water of the Howe Sound which turns a bright teal colour in Spring/ Summer as it is fed from the surrounding mountain glaciers. The painting has several elements that Dr. DM Flather was known for in his paintings - excellent perspective and his bold use of colour.

The setting is in the Howe Sound Region that lay between Vancouver and Squamish/ Whistler, BC.

Signed on the front.

Donald was a highly "unusual Artist" in the sense that we are not aware of any attempts for Donald to sell his paintings. Rather, it is apparent that he painted for the true love of painting - much preferring to gift his best paintings to friends and Family.

Private Collection, Ladner, BC

This painting will be part of the Exhibitions.
