William K. Barnes Bill Barnes, originally born in Scotland in 1946, became a local Canadian self-taught artist, whose works have been displayed in four historical museums of renown over the past thirty-five years. In the early years, his art career was limited to a part time hobby basis while supporting a young family. |

During that time however, a number of his works were reproduced in limited edition format, coupled with private commissions for his original works and charity related ventures centered around his prints, have combined to maintain Bill’s enthusiasm for painting. Now retired from the telecommunications industry, Bill is focusing his efforts to the canvas and his favorite medium the permanence of oil colour. As a visual artist, Bill’s passion resides in creating realism in his paintings, this in an effort to capture the majesty, the beauty or the emotion generated by the subject matter depicted. Bill’s fascination for the historical events encompassing WW 11 aircraft and the naval arena, plus his long standing passion for the declining North American railroads, has provided dynamic subject matter for his brush to canvas excitement. Of note, a recent portrayal of Doug Gilmour of the Toronto Maple Leafs, has been signed and added to the NHL Players Association’s portfolio for charitable fund raising criteria.
