This series contains a vast selection of paintings, many of which actually belong to other series by were not included by D.M. Flather in those series for one reason or another. Some did not have references on them when the collection was classified hence they fall into this category.

Some paintings in this collection show a real departure from his landscapes. Examples include works that are probably from his early trips to the Beaufort Sea of Newfoundland. You can see how this very early style led to the larger and more dramatic Baffin Island paintings of the 1980's.

The untitled oil painting (reference MI72) is a beautiful scene from the Little Qualicum River area on Vancouver Island that combines swirling back eddy waters and his early tree form style. Amongst this series are a number of sailboat scenes as well. Some of these are local and some are thought to be from Hawaii. oil paintings (reference MI47 and MI67) feature fantasy figures dancing over ponds. This may represent a recurring dream he had as a child.

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.
