As a result of much hard work and plenty of "pestering" "pestering" he now has a one-man show at the Durham Board ofEducation Head Office in Oshawa. His paintings have brought comparisons to world-renown wildlife artist, artist, Robert Bateman. When one sees his work, it is obvious obvious why. While Brian admits that Bateman is an influence, he makes it very clear that all his work is his own. "I never copy. All the ideas come from in my head," he says. Brian has always doodled. doodled. His childhood practice practice of watching television with pen and paper still carries carries on today. The 19-year-old graduate from Donovan Collegiate in Oshawa has big plans for the future. He will be attending attending the Toronto School of Art this fall. Brian was also accepted at the Ontario College of Art, but refused for personal reasons. "It's all a little intimidating intimidating right now. With my first year away from home I thought I'd go to someplace that was a little smaller," said Brian. While turning down the Ontario College of Art may be viewed has foolhardy by some, Brian is.definite in his decision. "I think I'll have the chance to do more at a smaller smaller school, have a greater chance of trying different things," he said. Brian's own steps to developing developing a painting don't differ that much from many highly paid professional artists. He works from photographs photographs and sketches as lie tries to arrange everything to his satisfaction. It takes nil average of four weeks to complete a painting, and that can vary depending on the medium used. A great self-critic, Brian finds that painting can be extremely frustrating. He has thrown away canvasses in the past, and almost threw away one that is presently presently on display at the Education Education Office. Brian hopes to one day be picked up by an art agent and simply have the freedom freedom to paint without having to worry about marketing his work. "I would like to have the freedom to do paintings, then give them to my agent and have him handle it," said Brian. That dream may be a bit far off for now, but one look at his work and it is clear that the goal is attainable. If the Bateman comparisons comparisons seem a little overwhelming, overwhelming, a simple slop at the Durham Board of Education Education Office on Rossland Road in Oshawa should convince convince anyone.
