Summer of 2022 was spent plein-air painting along my local segment of the Trans Canada Trail, throughout the Ottawa-Gatineau region. I'm not exactly sure when the idea of painting along the Trans Canada Trail crept into my psyche. As I ventured afield with my back pack, the Trail was always informing my footsteps to a next location. Right at my doorstep, there it was, heading east, west and north: what a fitting theme for a season's painting!
"David Kearn is a magician. As these paintings demonstrate, he can make the ordinary radiate light, colour and texture. David finds and nourishes the vision, talent and courage that lie within everyone who picks up a paintbrush. This book is a great way to share the infectious enthusiasm and imagination that is David's approach to art." Ann Chaplin
"David takes his readers on a journey and invites them to look over his shoulder as he paints. He has the ability to take a scene and distill it to its essence, all the while retaining a sense of place. David's unique and engaging style, coupled with his entertaining sense of humour, make this book an inspiring and interesting read." Susan Guirey-Pierce
"David Kearn never ceases to amaze. He is full of creative energy and passion for his projects. It was evident from the start that this one, about the Trans Canada Trail would be a challenge. But persevere he did, producing canvases and a book as magical and as colourful as Canada itself." Barbara Dundass
