LANSDOW - Artist Planning Better Pa VICTORIA (CP)--A_ 23-year- eld Victoria artist, acclaimed! by critics in London and New York as one of the world's lead- ing painters of birds, believes) he is 17 years away from his full] potential. James Fenwick Lansdowne discussed his work during an interview in the room he uses as a studio in his home. | "I believe 1 can continue to} improve until I'm 40. When I look back on a painting done several months before, I can} see the flaws." This is one reason the studio walls are not decorated by his| own works. In any case, mand for his bird illustrations} is so great it's questionable whether he could afford the lux-| ury of keeping his paintings. He has to turn out a painting every three days to keep up with de- mand. Mr. Lansdowne's success is remarkable for several rea- sons. One is that he has been crippled since he was a baby.| Born in Hong Kong, he was| stricken with polio before he was a year old. Today 57 per cent of his body is paralysed| and he gets around with crut- ches and a specially equipped car. His disability made him left-handed by necessity. HELPED BY MOTHER Mr. Lansdowne's interest in bird illustrations began while he was conyalescing at the age of seven. His mother used to sit by his bed and paint pictures) for him. He soon began to ex- periment on his own. Although he has never had a formal art lesson, he first gained recognition at 14. Biol ogists and naturalists here be-! gan comparing him with Allan Brooks, one of Canada's great- est bird illustrators who died in British Columbia in 1946. While at high school Mr. Lansdowne used to sell his works for $2 to earn extra money. Now one of his paint- ings may bring as much as $500. He is under contract to TDR Artists Limitec of Toronto who pay him a salary plus a per- centage of profits.
