This is a painting I am working on now. This is a painting of Robert Hyndman (1915-2009)...In 2007, at the age of 92, Robert visited his boyhood home on Judges Row in Qualicum Beach (his father was a judge). Robert Hyndman was a Spitfire pilot in World War 2, and an Official War Artist. He was still teaching art in Ottawa at the age of 90 at the Ottawa Art School. He was my friend, and I have a painting that he did on that trip of the beach just below the house.
You may recall Peter Hyndman, an MLA in B.C. in the 1990's. That was one of the many talented people in Robert's family. Another nephew was the Attorney General of Alberta.
Robert was our friend. We miss him. I learned much from him, and I hope that someday somebody will paint a picture of me when I am 92; still painting, and visiting my boyhood home in Chilliwack.
