3 CHURCHES BESIDE THE RIVER

44 x 40"oil on canvas CODE #8001

Calgary - Bridgeview area; 3 churches in very different architectural styles. I did not paint the houses around the church. It would just diminish the grandeur of the scene.

Even if we had a crystal ball, we would only see the reflections of what is around.

ISABELLA

ARTIST AT WORK

27 x 30" oil on board CODE #8008

MOSCOW OLYMPICS

27 x 30" oil on canvas CODE #80014

HIGHER AND HIGHER

44 x 40"oil on canvas CODE #80017

The Standard of Ur had three sides. Two sides are known. I nominate the Calgary Stampede Parade as the essence of the third missing side.

By Humyny 1980

ICARUS

27 x 30" oil on board CODE #80018

The reflections in the Gulf Building in Calgary become the labyrinth. Daedalus glides away and lives the myth of man in flight. Icarus flies too close to the sun, thus the wax holding his wings melts and he falls to his end in what is now the Gulf of Icarus.

By Humyny 1980

CENTRE FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS

By Humyny 1981

EMERGING TARGET

27 x 30" oil on canvas CODE #81018

A tree, an old house destined to be destroyed. Is man the next target?

By Humyny 1981

By Humyny 1981

RAINBOW COUNTRY

44 x 40"oil on canvas CODE #81020

An older building with a mural on the side of it showed great cracks in its walls. I thought it would not be long before it came down. I was wrong.

IT RAINS MONEY

27 x 30" oil on board CODE #81021

The Kinsmen's float in the Stampede Parade. People are encouraged to throw money, which is collected and deposited in the "wings" of the float. Quite an experience for newcomers to the city.

OWL

I have painted many owls to experiment with composition or with colour.

By Humyny 1981

WINTER SCENE

24 x 20" oil on board CODE #81025

Waterfowl recognize very quickly who comes to feed them. The orderly line-up becomes a frenzied mass of feathers once the food is in sight. A little bit like human behaviour at times.

By Humyny 1981

TOTEM

Family as a totemic entity.

By Humyny 1981

SUZANNA AND THE ELDERS

27 x 30" oil on board CODE #8201

The theme here is not so much about voyeurs but about the loss of innocence. One side of the face is still reflecting that innocence - the other side is hardening of the facial features by the knowledge of a not so innocent world.

By Humyny 1982

THE PROBLEM

27 x 30" oil on canvas CODE #8202

A cat, a canary that is loose - a baby and grandma. Problems galore.

By Humyny 1982

THE PARADE GOES ON

40 x 50" oil on canvas CODE #8210

The Parade goes on and on. Behind the scaffolding, older buildings come down to be replaced by more glass clad buildings. An endless glass canyon in the making.

By Humyny 1982

SUMMER CAMP

27 x 30" oil on canvas CODE #82011

Children in the crowded city and children at a summer camp take on a very different body language.

By Humyny 1982

GOOD NIGHT

44 x 48" oil on board CODE #82012

When I have trouble falling asleep, it does not help for me to count sheep. Even if I put them up in a tree, I end up counting their feet.
