Well-known Canadian artist Jack Whyte has been creating art based on Manitoulin Island for over 6 decades. This "Sketch Book" presents a collection of his Island sketches, covering a myriad of techniques: pencil, pen, lino print, digital art, etc...and subjects: landscapes, lost buildings, local flora, First Nations dancers and much, much more...In Jack's own words: I have been sketching images of "The Island" since the late 1940's - This book is a selection of these drawings - Over the years it seems that each of them has somehow been used in creating a finished piece of art - in mediums such as - oil and acrylic paintings - paper collage - silk screens - stained glass - prints and illustrations - As I compiled this collection it became evident that many of these subjects were either gone or going - As the past disappears contemporary shapes are giving the island a new look and I wonder - Which - will be the last barn standing
