One Summer along the Trans Canada Trail : David Kearn : 9781777810429 : 1777810426 : 15 Mar 2023 : Summer of 2022 was spent plein-air painting along my local segment of the Trans Canada Trail, throughout the Ottawa-Gatineau region. I'm not exactly sure when the idea of painting along the Trans Canada Trail crept into my psyche. As I ventured afield with my back pack, the Trail was always informing my footsteps to a next location. Right at my doorstep, there it was, heading east, west and north: what a fitting theme for a season's painting! "David Kearn is a magician. As these paintings demonstrate, he can make the ordinary radiate light, colour and texture. David finds and nourishes the vision, talent and courage that lie within everyone who picks up a paintbrush. This book is a great way to share the infectious enthusiasm and imagination that is David's approach to art." Ann Chaplin "David takes his readers on a journey and invites them to look over his shoulder as he paints.
