    ART BENEATH MY FEET

    $95.00

    GORD TAYLOR

    Finding a bloom in the weeds. A canoe trip to Feist Lake provided numerous nature photographs.  Hiking through the tall grass to an abandoned trapper’s cabin, I was surrounded by the incredible world of art beneath my feet.

  • AWAKENING

    AWAKENING

    $95.00

    GORD TAYLOR

    Walking through tall grasses often makes me want to go swimming beneath them and see a world closer to the ground. The sun broke through the blades and sheathes one morning and presented this flower just waking up. It was a lovely surprise.

  • FACE TO FACE

    FACE TO FACE

    $95.00

    GORD TAYLOR

    I’ve always enjoyed portaging my canoe from one body of water to another. Time to enjoy incredible scenery along the way with the excitement of what is yet to come. Many a trail has ended between two impressive cliffs. Face to Face depicts one such portage ending with a magnificent waterfall.

  • IN A WORLD THAT’S UPSIDE DOWN

    IN A WORLD THAT’S UPSIDE DOWN

    $75.00

    GORD TAYLOR

    Sketching in ink one day, I fell into a news trap, listening to the craziness infiltrating our world order. This piece developed out of those feeds and represents a world that is truly upside down.

  • KNOO

    KNOO

    $59.95

    An adventure survival game taking you through a land of forests and lakes and streams.  Navigate through the charted map system with your canoe, or take a bush plane, putting kilometres behind you.

  • ODENSE, DENMARK -  NELLE’S

    ODENSE, DENMARK – NELLE’S

    $75.00

    GORD TAYLOR

    A memorable trip to Denmark in 2024 provided much inspiration for sketches of interesting architecture and the people. In Odense,  Kramboden Aaben was a treasure trove of Danish history.

  • POWER OF WATER

    POWER OF WATER

    $95.00

    GORD TAYLOR

    The Power of Water was created as an abstract by experimenting on how turpentine would enhance the molecular movement of water over a natural substrate and how the deep undertones are shadowed beneath.

  • THE UNEXPECTED PORTAGE

    THE UNEXPECTED PORTAGE

    $95.00

    GORD TAYLOR

    This was created as a tribute to an unforgettable sailing adventure with a great friend and myself. Trusting that our nautical map was true, we entered a long narrow channel, zig zagging in a run, envisioning our planned outlet at the end. As we neared the narrows, it became evident we were not sailing through. Two hours later, multiple logs for rolling and much grunting, we got through our unexpected portage. The scene is real.

  • THIS IS NOWHERE

    THIS IS NOWHERE

    $75.00

    GORD TAYLOR

    I have always enjoyed sketching buildings, likely influenced by my design/build background. Details in my job are important. They evidently find their way into many of my skecthworks.

  • TRIANGLE FALLS

    TRIANGLE FALLS

    $95.00

    GORD TAYLOR

    Triangle Falls developed out of a memory of canoeing down the Bloodvein River with my brother. Paddling into a hidden bay with two choices, left or right. Turbulent water cascading each way around a central island. Great fishing and wonderful campsite. Yes, the portage was steep, the site was stunning and the stay noteworthy.
