Alex Colville, Canadian painter, 95

I was browsing through news articles on the Globe and Mail when I spied the photo of a painting entitled To Prince Edward Island and thought that I'd seen that style of painting somewhere. Then the name on the article's title, Alex Colville, stirred something at the back of my mind: an article in the Reader's Digest probably 30 years back and accompanied by hyperealistic paintings of a pointer dog, a loan cow grazing in a meadow, an old man sitting on veranda looking out to sea. Yes, I remember Alex Colville.
