Freighter, Summer
Evening
Acrylic on Canvas, 73 x 40
"Like anthems and
intonations, these images of boats, trains and freighters move through
the coastal light and space, arousing the inner eye and inner ear.
Might these be acceptable as metaphors for time and passage as much as
a reflection of what can be seen? We pray that, slowly, frozen
conceptions that lock us in the past melt under the warm gaze of the
curious, innocent and wise."
Edward Epp, January 2003
Prince Rupert, B.C.

Edward is
known for his 'plein air' painting. He works on several paintings at a
time outside in the elements. Often the rain and wind contribute to the
creation of his work.

"Perched on the frail edge of
the land, blasted by violent
southeast gales, occasionally clouds lift, and we view a sublime
panorama. Green and blue mountains are penetrated by grey waters,
highways of commerce and trade which spread to the infinite Orient."
-Edward Epp
