IT'S AUTUMN, MR. PHILLIPS

IT'S AUTUMN, MR. PHILLIPSThe Tudor style Pavilion in Assiniboine Park is an iconic Winnipeg structure. Growing up near the park I would spend many leisure hours riding my bike in the area. The scene is painted from the cricket pitch facing north. The park is home to an abundance of old twisted oak trees which burst into colour in the fall. The Pavilion is home to one of Winnipeg's best kept secrets as it contains a wonderful Walter Phillips art collection. Walter Phillips

and a lifelong passion for the Canadian landscape and the sport of hockey

renowned for its daily flower market

His paintings are sought-after by collectors who value thoughtful

in payment for the night

it just asks you to sit with it

and movement

Although he is known most for his block prints

painterly approach transforms gardens

supported by galleries such as Canada House Gallery

then St Piran and Niblock are on the far right with the wee Lake Agnes Teahouse between them

including a Grand Prize at the FCA Signature Medal Show

This allows for a scene to be coloured by our experience
