Donald was very much a botanist and horticulturist as much as he was a scientist, teacher and painter. Naturally, he found plants and flowers as subjects that would compliment his love of painting and his love of plants. Many paintings were derived from flowers in his Kerrisdale, B.C. home, or in the vicinity of his home. Others such as the paintings titled "Glacier Lilies" and "Autumn Sumach" clearly must have been sketched from regions far from home. The painting titled "Vine Maples - Mt. Rainier" is evidence of this.

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.
