Lead William G. Roberts "Grey County Church ON"
Description
Framed 32"×24" William Griffith Roberts 1921-2001 Born in Nelson, B.C., he received his early education there and entered the Vancouver School of Art where he studied for six months. Throughout his early years he had been interested in cartoons much inspired by the creators of "Maggie and Jiggs", "The Captain and the Kids?, “Happy Hooligan? and “Little Orphan Annie?. He sold his cartoons to local papers in the Vancouver area. He enlisted in the R.C.A.F. and served overseas as an Air Gunner and still contributed cartoons to the Vancouver Sun and the Airforce paper Wings Abroad (1941-45). It was during his service overseas that he first saw English water colours and in his spare time he continued to paint and improve his technique. Following the war, he worked briefly for the Vancouver Sun as an editorial cartoonist but politics was not a burning interest with him and he did not share the same views with the publisher. He moved to Toronto in search of opportunities and enrolled in the Ontario College of Art but found classes crowded and instructors on short supply. He left the College to make his own way. During those early years he did every conceivable job – washing cars, washing dishes, etc., in his struggle just to make ends meet. He kept working at his art and his cartoons, establishing himself in the field of commercial art. In his painting he experienced his first success in 1950 with the sale of “Banks’ Lunch?, a water-colour exhibited at the Ontario Society of Artists annual show and sold on opening night. By now he was married with a family. In 1952 he took his family on an extended trip to England where he toured the coastlines painting in water colours then went on to France and northern Spain. After a year abroad Roberts and his family returned to Toronto where he resumed his art career. He was elected member of The Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour in 1954; member of the O.S.A. in 1956; A.R.C.A in 1957. Exhibiting with these societies gave him access to a larger audience. By now he had gained considerable experience as a painter and joined the staff of the Ontario College of Art where he continued to teach for the next nine years (1957-66). During that period he was for a year Resident Artist at the University of Western Ontario (1963-64) with his studio on the lower floor of the McIntosh Memorial Art Gallery. At the end of his term he had completed 20 major paintings, 100 water colours, nine tempera paintings and numerous drawings. He was now living in a 105-year-old house in the little town of Milton, 40 miles west of Toronto with his wife and two daughters. In cold weather he still went out to paint his subjects. By mixing alcohol with his water colours he kept his paints from freezing. Returning to his studio he then tacked each painting up on his studio wall to give it “the test of time?. He destroys up to 75% of his production in the process of keeping the best. His oil paintings are done either from memory or from meticulous ink sketches.
