Page 2, News, Tuesday, July 31, 1990 Artist tours Northern Ontario By Monica Wenzlaff The News An internationally renowned Canadian artist is touring Northern Ontario with her paint- ings. "I return to display paintings I was inspired by in this area," said wildlife-realist painter Christine Marshall. This year, she is cele- brating her tenth anniversary of presenting her artwork. Although Marshall has been painting for more than 25 years, she has been concentrating on wildlife art for the past 12. Recently, she released "Romance of Nature," a limited edition book and print potfolio book that highlights Marshall's achievements as an artist. The book reveals her work, from the beginning sketches, to the elabo- rate finished products. Marshall has spent much time in Northern Ontario studying the wildlife in its natural habitat. Here she followed the moose, the black bear, the fox and many other animals and birds that have become the subjects of her paint- ings. Researching her subjects involves a lot more than just pho- tographing them. Marshall observes the animals, pho- tographing and sketching them as she sees them in order to capture the true beauty and uniquenss of each animal. "There are many occasions where I have to get closer to them(the animals), so I work with the Ministry of Natural Resources," said Marshall. Through the MNR, Marshall has: been able to observe her subjects in areas that are generally off- limits to the public. Before she paints, Marshall will bring skins, and pelts into her studio for real-life detail. She also studies rocks, moss, leaves and other objects that fill her.can- vas. Marshall has been showing her work in this area for the past three years. She brings with her several original paintings from her gallery, as well as numerous limited edition prints for each dis- play. On this tour, Marshall is revealing her latest painting, which is almost completed. She is also showing for the first time two of her maquettes (small-scale models painted in a rough version of the original paintings). "I just love to get back here, it's so inspiring," said Marshall, who has her home and gallery just outside of Toronto. "It seems untouched and unscathed by man. Marshall is plannning to travel to China next year to study the giant panda bear. She may also return to Africa in the near future, as she has studied animals there in the past. In the future, Marshall would like to study and paint exotic birds, but she will always bring to life the wildlife she finds in Canada and the United States. "My first love is North American subjects," said Marshall. "I'll look to continue that." Canadéc Imperial Gauk of Commerce uncil.

By Monica Wenzlaff The News On July 22, a transport fire near Jackfish Lake closed both lanes of Highway 17 for more than an hour. The fire began at approximate- ly 10:30 p.m. in the engine of the transport. The driver attempted to keep the blaze from spreading with a fire extinguisher, but could not stop it. He ran to the near-by Chalet Lodge to telephone the fire department. "By the time he left the truck and came here the whole thing was in flames," said Mrs. Miller, Transport fire near Jackfish who could see the fire from the Lodge. She said that the flames spread through the cab too quick- ly to stop. The entire cab of the transport was destroyed before the Terrace Bay Fire Department could arrive on the scene. Firefighters quickly had the blaze under control though, and the fire did not reach the trailer, which contained a shipment of lime for Kimberly Clark. More than sixty cars travel- ling on Highway 17 were delayed by the fire.
