David Flather is in the process of organizing a very special National
Art Show featuring some 40 of Dr. Donald M. Flather's original
paintings. These represent some of the very best landscape paintings
that Donald produced and come from several private collections.
Some of these fine original paintings have been exhibited in the
1940's and 1950's at the Annual Juried BC Artist Exhibitions at
the Vancouver Art Gallery but most have never been displayed publicly
before. Together with the paintings, David will also be displaying
the antique telemark ski set that Donald used to travel to many
of the Winter painting locations plus a digital media show playing
Donald's approx. 2 hour interview with his Granddaughter, Patti
Flather in 1989 shortly before his passing in 1990. David is planning

About
the Artist:
Dr. DM (Donald McIntosh) Flather was a very talented man who combined
his love of the outdoors with his love of art to produce many
beautiful artworks from all across Canada and parts of the USA.
Donald was a self taught Artist whom first began painting at a
young age on small pieces of glass. During his lifetime, he produced
some 400 paintings or so (quite a low number for most Painters),
which included stunning Canadian landscapes and seascapes from
Coast to Coast, the high Arctic (including a Series from Baffin
Island) as well as plants and animals. Although a teacher by vocation,
he dedicated a great deal of his life (circa 1919-1987) to his
painting and developed his own unique style, which has been said
to combine elements of French Impressionism and the Group of Seven.
In addition, DM Flather was also an accomplished Potter that produced
likely hundreds of vases, bowls and so on over the years.
Donald
Flather was a colleague of Lawren Harris, founder of the Group
of Seven and the two men worked together for several years on
the Executive of the Federation of Canadian Artists, of which
Donald was an original and founding member in 1941. DM Flather
's artworks are currently widely held by leading Canadian, American,
European, Indonesian and Asian Collectors. Continue
