Ed loves the outdoors and is an avid cross skier, hiker and canoeist and many of his paintings are inspired by scenes from these activities. In particular, he is fascinated with snow. He grew up in Quebec where the snow fell in late November and covered the ground until the end end of March. When skiing, everything is peaceful and graceful and you’re at one with nature. Hiking in the bright autumn colours, skiing past a stream coming out of the woods or just gliding across a still lake at dusk are things that turn him on.
