The Timmins Heritage Series includes many well known Mining and Related Landscape Sites in and around the City of Timmins. This Series Began 5 years ago with the first printing of the Hollinger Houses "Spring on Mountjoy" Since then many more pieces have been added to the Collection.
The Following is a list of Images in the Collection and Sizes available. Northern Lights ' Midnight" 11x14, 8x10. 5x7 This image was painted in the mid-nineties, and was in fact inspired by Shania Twain, the first print was given to Shania Twain during her visit in the 90's. The Hollinger Houses "Spring on Mountjoy" 11x14, 8x10, 5x7 The original Hollinger Houses was painted for my parents in the mid 80's for their Wedding Anniversary. My mother lived in a Hollinger House on Mons Avenue, I still can remember that house. This spring image shows Mountjoy South look towards Algonquin. Everyone I meet has a Hollinger House story, and this historical dwelling itself has it own history, beginning with a flat roof. The Red and Green Houses were well known to the mining families that came in search of Gold. Hollinger House Gold Mine Tour This image is 8x10 or 5x7, It was painted in the first year that the Gold Mine Tour was open. When I took the tour , it sure did revive my memory of my Grandmother Tonkins house on Mons Ave. When I looked in the log book, there were their names Beatrice and Foster Tonkin. My memory of their Hollinger House is so vivid I can actually remember the floor plan of the house and even the furniture and cushions on the couch. Memories. The Hollinger Gold Mine Tour This image is only available in 5x7, it was painted after I took the Gold Mine Tour in the 90's. It compliments the Hollinger Gold Mine House. The Hollinger Ball Park "Green Fence" The year that the Shania Twain Centre opened I made a visit to Timmins, I remember it was a very cool July, so I spent my time painting this iconic image of the Hollinger Ball Park. This 8x10 image is dedicated to my son Ian, who spent years playing ball at this park and it is named the Green Fence because at that time the park was surrounded by a pea green frence since the 30's. Originally I was going to call it "Over the Fence" Becasue that was the gold if you were a ball player at the Hollinger. Hollinger Skyline Images Green & Gold There are 2 Skyline Images of the Timmins Hollinger Gold Mine, they were painted in odd sizes. They have a 70's overtone. I like these images , they are siimple but reflect this Golden Town. The Timmins Hollinger Gold Mine "Forty Below" |

Timmins Heritage Series continued:
The McIntyre Minesite Alive The photograpy for this image was taken in the spring of 1997, the buildings were refected on the black ice . Originally I was going to name it "Miner's Beacon" then changed my mind and called it the above as it was meant to be an illustration of the working McIntyre Minesite. This image is available in all 3 sizes. The McIntyre Mineste Aglow It was minus 40 on a Sat. night when I parked my car in Schumacher so I could record the streams of light from atop the McIntyre Mine Headframe. This magnificant structure stands tall and proud in the mid-night sky. This image is available in all 3 sizes as well. Gillies Lake "A Gillies Lake Walk" This image was painted immediately after the park was open to the public. The original photo had a young worman reading a paper on the park bench. This is a simple view, of what is now a very busy public place. A beautiful use of land for all to use. This image comes only in 8x10 and 5x7. GOLDCORP Dome Minesite This view of the Dome Minesite is an interesting view, not one that you can see from the back road. Hours and hours were spend identifying rock formations and faults, the patterns of sunlight on the rocks was really beautiful. This image comes in all three sizes |
