The story of Port Coldwell, the Group of Seven and Dave Sills "Fifty" music album intrigued me so much that I felt inclined to record it both in paint and words. The story needed to be told. Dave Sills is a terrific meteorologist who I worked with at Environment Canada. He is also a singer and songwriter whose Grandmother Agnes was born and raised in Port Coldwell. I wrote in an email to Dave Sills: I am headed into the studio with a Port Coldwell painting in my mind. May I use an image of yours from Flickr Dave? Maybe that old postcard too... Just an idea. I still need to select a canvas.
Here is what Dave wrote after seeing the sketch I completed after Day One on this project: That's really something Phil. Really draws the eye in. I know at least a dozen people that will want a print when it's done! FYI, that's my grandmother's house in the foreground on the left. That little wood structure just in front of it was a swing. Not sure why they had a ladder on the roof. Looks l...
I paint outside - nothing between my eyes and the inspiration. That special connectivity gets into the pigments and you quickly realize that we are all stewards of the land, privileged to appreciate its beauty during our lifetime but responsible for leaving the environment better off for the future and all inhabitants... Phil was born and raised along the St. Lawrence of Ontario, Canada and studied at Queens University as a nuclear physicist. A meteorologist for Environment Canada for 35 years, Phil specializes in severe weather and training. Remote sensing is his forte - you might want to see a tornado before you die... but not just before you die! He has farmed, raised bees, written books and articles, lectured and instructed...

Amazing story behind this one and it is a beautiful and rich work with brilliant color and contrast and light! Love how the sparkling water and dazzling gold grasses lead you into this painting and you can almost feel the sun and the breeze. Magnificent and also fascinating because of the treatment of the structures with enough details to study and enjoy, Awesome palette and composition! Love it! Congratulations on another masterpiece of beauty in your very unique and recognizable style, Mr. Chadwick!
Phil Chadwick replied:
Very kind of you Sunny. I sometimes work from these historical photos. This one is 100 years old and from the Allen Port Coldwell collection I believe. It makes me remember that the land and the people were full of life and colour and not unlike us today a century later.
