Landscape Painting
Landscape painting here is a relationship between an artist's method and a named place, not a generic mountain image. Jack Shadbolt and Gordon Smith connect postwar painting with coastal forms; contemporary practices include Graham Watts's documented Black Tusk and Tantalus paintings, Lisa Ochowycz's atmospheric North Shore subjects, and BC-based Collin Elder's ecological approach.
