In April 2012, I traveled to the North Pole with the Royal Canadian Air Force, as part of the Official “War Artist” Program (CFAP). Over two weeks, I painted nearly 100 paintings of the endangered landscape, while working ‘plein-air’ outside in the -35oC weather.

This is one of the painting crates custom built for me by the Royal Canadian Air Force (R.C.A.F.) to transport my wet oil paintings back my first North Pole expedition.

I painted this small post-card sized painting of the memorial to soldiers who died at C.F.S. Alert, Nunavut (North Pole) while a transport vehicle waited nearby.
The graves and cairns are a reminder of the two fateful airplane accidents that occurred during attempts to resupply the Royal Canadian Air Force Station: NINE airmen died when a parachute from a resupply airdrop got entangled with the tail of their R.C.A.F. Lancaster on July 31, 1950, and FIVE airmen died when their R.C.A.F. CC130 Hercules crashed during a blizzard on October 30, 1991.
