NEAR BRADFORD, ONTARIO


Yesterday we visited the McMichael gallery in Kleinburg to see an exhibition of the BC artist Takao Tanabe. The show is very good even though I think it could have been better curated. His landscapes from Alberta and BC are impressive. Large panoramic views of the prairies and the Pacific coastal areas. Driving back home I kept thinking about his work and reducing the landscape to very simple but visually strong elements. That is what I try to bring into my own pictures.
