Jack

Jack is 95 years old. He drives to town almost every day, the 15 kilometers from the south of our island.

He is a retired "notions" salesman. He plied his trade for 40 years in England and then retired to Salspring Island where he took up painting. He does watercolour and specializes in portraying our west-coast in a very minimalist style.

Jack is a joy to have around with his energy and sense of humour.

Here he is working at the drop-in of the Painters Guild in our arts centre.
