economist suntribune april 12 1989 ci1 popular stouffville artist gordon hatt is often in demand in the area by people seeking to have their homes depicted on canvass at 82 gordon still maintains a passion for his work and can be photo bbucestapiey found toiling in his basement studio his first drawing was of a friends st bernard dog done in 1927 stouffville artists work spans more than 60 years by bruce stapley at age 82 gordon hatt still possesses the steady hand that has been drawing landscape water color paintings for over 60 years the retired typographer who came to canada in 1953 from england has called stouffville home for the past 18 years where he has lived with his wife victoria and while not quite as prolific as he once was gordon will take on eight or so commissions an nually to draw a house an historic building or a newly con structed shopping plaza in town it was he who people turned to in 1987 when they wanted a draw ing of summitview school done for retiring principal lome boadway he was asked to paint a lasting impression of the sanders block while it still hous ed cards hardware before the structure was slated for demolition gordon has immortalized the old post office through his ar tistic efforts along with the old train station and many stouff ville area churches and he has painted numerous century homes for stouffville residents gordon claims he acquired his talents from his father and grandfather they were both ar tists and master printers he says he studied at the london polytechnic and cambenvell schools of art in england his last water color done before leaving england was purchased by a library board and now hangs in an established museum he has always felt there was a natural connection between his career as a typographer and his art my artistic abilities always helped when i had to indicate il lustrations in a layout in 1985 thanks in part to his talents as an artist he took the award of best overall entry in the international typographic composition contest held in chicago the 35 paintings that adorn his home were drawn from scenes he encountered in his many world travels including drawings done while in england france holland switzerland the united states and india where he work ed with the british special operations executive during world war ii today he still works from his basement studio where he sits and paints using photographs as a guide ill take a picture of the house or farm then draw it from that sometimes it is necessary to go back to the scene several times to get it just right gordon believes in giving his customers what they want not what he might like a picture to look like ive known artists who couldnt sell their work because they would draw it to suit themselves leaving out windows and doors i try to do a true authentic drawing thats what the client wants i have an eye for detail i dont leave anything out if so meone wants a bike in the front yard ill put one there he says that as an artist he cant overemphasize the impor- tace of lighting and shade in a drawing sometimes ill look at a house for a week or so to get the right angle of the sun so the shadows will be right some houses never have the sun on the front or perhaps the back youve got to catch it just right so it will look like it really does gordon claims it takes him about three weeks to complete a drawing and while the end result is always satisfying he admits hes always a little nervous until its completed it can be deman ding its not truly relaxing until the picture is finished taemclmid vliuk uieesi
