Many art critics have argued that the Howe Sound Series is one of Donald's strongest. Howe Sound is a majestic inlet of water which lies North of Vancouver, British Columbia between Squamish and Horseshoe Bay. The East side is bordered by steep mountain slopes perforated with many rivers and small streams which pump fresh water into the inlet. Many stunning islands spot the coastline of 30 kilometers. To the Northwest lies the Sunshine Coast.

Most of the breathtaking area is visible from the Ski to Sky Highway, which Visitors to the Vancouver Whistler 2010 Winter Olympics will enjoy as they travel between Vancouver and Whistler. Donald Flather captured some of the spectacular views from the many viewpoints along the way. One of his favorite subjects of this series are the majestic Arbutus trees that permeate the mountain slopes. Donald Flather successfully combines the natural beauty of this area with his own unique style and color presentation.

Dont rush. Spend the time and browse through each series in the collection. Each oil painting is a piece of Canadian History to be enjoyed by all.
