“British Columbia ~ Graced by Nature’s Palette”
|
FOREWORD BY ROBERT BATEMAN
“This book takes you on a delightful trip through British Columbia, arguably one of the most breathtaking places in the world. Frank Townsley has a perceptive eye which comes through in his photography and his paints. Like his watercolours, each of his photos is a work of art which not only captures the subject, but captures a moment. In art, it is the idea that counts. Early twentieth century author Willa Cather describes art as capturing that ‘shining elusive element which is life itself—life hurrying past us, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose.’” This is what Townsley does.” -Robert Bateman, OC OBC RCA, naturalist and painter |
