Note:

A landscape painter in the mainstream of the Canadian tradition, Toronto-based OCAD graduate Steve Driscoll conjures a vision of nature undulating with atmosphere and heightened color effects. Bright, emotional and dynamic, Driscoll's paintings are steeped in the romance of the Canadian landscape. Driscoll has most recently turned to the medium of urethane to achieve the sparkle and trembling effects of light he wanted to capture. Animated and unified by his painting technique, his works are distinct in their mood and tone. Driscoll describes the medium of urethane as key to the works: “The passage of time is what urethane depicts so well. Its fluidity holds the minuet details of a landscape in motion. I hope these paintings convey the sense of peace and rejuvenation that I experienced in each of these places.”
