Canadian Military Art

[MAJOR_Baker]

I have been unable to locate any Canadian Military art. I have seen a number of very impressive WWI art works in military books, is there someone out there that sells any of these prints? Any insight would be appreciated!

Sorry Major, just something I got from a quick Google search during my coffee break. There were some Canadian ones there. look at those and note the artist‘s names. Then search for those artists.

I have been building my collection of military art prints and have been somewhat successful. The primary artist is Katherine Taylor (wife of Scott Taylor - Esprit de Corps). She has done some fine work. Most recently the Museum of the Regiments in Calgary has a set of three prints she did while in the former Yugoslavia. Other sources would be Regimental Kit Shops.

Silvia Pecota does some nice work, and one at CFB Edmonton has definately seen her works in the halls, I have two of her works my self. She even through in a pocket pinup calendar and a handfull of "motivation" book marks for free cause I was CF.

I've met Silvia a few times and even had to act as her escort during two days of her visit to KAF on my Roto (nice lady but she has a mouth like a trucker), but I do tend to find that many of her works look the same.  I understand that artists have a style but its almost as though she pulls up different graphics, pieces them together and adds a bit of fresh painting (or other format artwork) to it .

If she swears like a sailor I'm cool with that.  Some of the greatest ladies I know are not always ladies.

I know exactly what you mean, they are nice, but they feel the same when looking at them, as if each one has nothing unique about them.

Having said that though, I certainly couldn't do what she, or any artist for that matter does.  I'm not at art critic and I have no artistic ability myself.  Heck, I can barely stay inside the lines when I colour with my grandson.  lol  I'd just like her stuff to be a little less "cookie cutter".

 

[jollyjacktar]

Yes, they are "similar" in feel, but maybe that's what sells.  And she is in the business of selling her work.
