Camp X

5/25/2013

1 Comment

 
Camp "X", as it was known, was Canada's own top secret high level Spy training facility, and it was located on the shores of Whitby, bordering Oshawa. Like the Avro Arrow Camp X was dismantled and bulldozed into the lake, all that remains today are the trees and a bunch of pits on the hillside from the hundreds of bombs they tested on the property. It was the beginning of the James Bond series of books and a popular Movie called: "A man called Intrepid". 
Here is my impression from an afternoon on the site today, the last witnesses to our incredible history;
The Trees of Camp X

I will be doing a series of small paintings of Camp X both as it was and as it is. You can see them on my webpage dedicated to the camp and it's memory, simply click the image to go.

    The Artists Journey

    This is my blog page and it is where I get to be the opinionated man that I really am. The views are my own. 
    ​I invite your replies and comments, on my virtual welcome mat.

    This is me at Holly and Roy's cottage painting sketch canvases of Canoe Lake in the summer of 2011.
    This sketch above became this finished painting below

    The Pine Tree Painter.

    How did I become known as the Pine Tree Painter? You could say I paint a lot of Pine Trees, that would be true. I paint a lot of other things too, but Pine Trees, Spruce Trees, Birch and others seem to be a continuous string in what i do. I just like the way they stand there like a custodian of the land. or a greeter to nature. So, I continue down the path with the Pine Tree Painter name on my head, It's ok.
