Earl has spent his life working in all facets of commercial art. His real desire to work in art and make a career of it came from his excellent teachers at The Ontario College of Art - Carl Schaefer, Fred Hagen, George Ford, and Fred Finley. His first job was actually painting backgrounds for the old Simpsons catalogues! After many years, he started experimenting in all mediums, settling on oils, mainly because when he made a mess of something he could paint it over, or start anew! In his years of travel to British Columbia, the Yukon, Alaska, and the Southwest United States, he painted reference studies and took copious photographs for later experiments on canvas. So many studies, so little time! In his view, it is not what you put into a painting; it is what you leave out. He paints no details, no lines - no need to. He is an Impressionist. He loves colour, and his paintings are bright, airy, colourful, warm, and pleasant.
