er ee eee a ee ee ee ------ by Garry Forbes Adorning the walls of several Toronto offices, living rooms and dens are lavish pen-and-ink depictions of North Huronia wooded scenes created by a man who has never had an art lesson in his life. They hang on those walls because their owners happened to pause from their Yonge St. bustle long enough to watch a tranquil gen- tleman- patiently apply his craft (one of them), and, soon enough, they bought. The craftsman is Jan Kee, a_ 61-year-old Penetanguishene marina carpenter who enjoys his trips to Toronto, where he can sell his works at up to $60 a crack, but enjoys more the relaxed life in his home area, the place from which he draws all of his inspiration. "T usually take five or six drawings with me and set up a chair on Yonge St. and just start working" says Kee, originally a native of Holland. "It's no problem at all selling them, and for more than I can here (he fetches $20 to $40 in his home area). It's not that people .don't like art here, there's just not the market."' At any rate, Kee doesn't draw for the money, though it's always nice to sell. It's a hobby, albeit a hobby he's had since boyhood when his grandfather, who ran a paper mill, made paper and pencils readily available. He's never taken an art lesson, but there never really was a need: his whole family has always been ar- tistic, right down to his commercial-artist daughter. "Tt keeps me busy,"' says Kee.
