List of original paintings signed by artist Doug Cosbie

Many of my works are "plein air" works made on location. These outdoor, on-site renderings are able to capture the light and vibrancy of the time and place, that cannot effectively be portrayed in the studio. Having studied with, being mentored by and having the opportunity to paint with a number of well-known Canadian Masters, my works render classic motifs but are also contemporary Canadian art. Education: Winnipeg School of Art Vancouver School of Art (now known as the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design) Apprenticed in the Studios of Sam Black, BCSFA CSPWC FCA RCA RWS: and Jack Shabolt, BCSFA CGP CSPWC OC RCA . They and other painters associated with the Canadian art movement of the 1930's onward I was fortunate to meet were brilliant inspirations and offered sage advice with respect to my art . I'm indebted to these iconic Canadian Masters.

Winner of numerous awards during group and solo exhibitions for over 35 years in public, civic and commercial galleries his work is found practically world-wide. Collections of note include the Canadian Government (Beijing Embassy), Queens Park, Toronto, the late Dr. Cecil H. Green, Founder of Texas Instruments (who had a small Cosbie oil sketch hanging in his private apartment along with American masters Andrew Wyeth and Grant Wood) to name a few. Laurie Carmount, Curator of the Agnes Jamieson Public Gallery wrote in the Exhibition Catalog of a major exhibition, “Winter in Canada” of artists selected from across Canada "The work that comes closest to what my impression of winter in Canada is “Ontario Winter” by Doug Cosbie. I can relate to this. The bold colours are engaging and the use of light gives, what I feel is the quintessential elements of our winters. The sky radiates cold and sings over the top of this little rural setting. The style is comparable to so many Canadian master painters, it evokes tradition, yet there is enough of an uniqueness that lets it stand on its own"
