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.
