Happy Holidays to All!
Hi Everyone,
I chose this image for my closing Newsletter of 2020 because, to me, it speaks of the year many of us have just experienced; life in all directions. Personally, I have discovered new insights by exploring the beauty of a much smaller and contained space; our own property and surrounding area. From 2 square inches of a kitchen window on a cold winters’ morning at sunrise, I see life unfolding as it should.
For the season and the year 2021, Rita and I wish you all health and happiness. We are x-c skiing daily, so who knows, maybe we’ll see you on the trail!
A few Winter Images from Close to Home

Rita and I often enjoy the complete silence of night skiing. We have seen saw-whet owls, fox, and the prints of lurking wolves.
Rita and I also enjoy packing a lunch during spring-skiing.

A Photographic Exhibition
In my November Newsletter, I initiated ‘photographic exhibitions’ as a way of sharing my visual adventures. Within this platform I am able to exhibit more images, which together, make up a more complete story to share with my viewership friends.
In many ways, I make images that I can share with the world and tell stories that are important to me. Each of my book publications, and the story of the Chilcotin Ark are examples. As expressed through the art of photography, they are my truth.
In this month’s exhibition, I am sharing the story of my first self-directed art residency experience. It took place on Gabriola Island.
Visit Exhibition #003, December, 2020, titled: Gabriola Island Residency

Merry Christmas to you and Rita.
We wish you a Merry Christmas as well Phil. Hope to see you in the new year.
I love your new Exhibitions Chris and savoured my walk through the Gabriola exhibit this morning enjoying the forms you discovered, taken in by the patterns and virtually feeling all that texture. A most amazing exhibit on the art of visual design – representational, impressionistic and abstract – it’s all there for us to see and enjoy. A very Merry Christmas to you and all the best for 2021.
I always appreciate hearing your thoughts and feelings Fred. Merry Christmas and all the very best to you as well in the coming year.
