Wilkie Fine Art becomes Backwoods Country Arts.

I have been painting on and off for a good part of my life. A number of years back I started A Frame  Studios, which encompassed my wife's creativeness and my ever growing desire to paint. We have changed things over the last few years due to Julie's illness. I have been using and will keep Wilkie Fine Art but I do so much more than fine art.

Yes, I love to paint scenes of this great country Canada, I paint images of the Canadian landscape, much of I have seen, and these scenes can be seen in my work. I paint areas of Canada I haven't been to, through photos sent to me. I will continue to paint the Canadian landscape, wildlife in nature because we have pillowed so much of it under to build cities, push through highways endangering the beauty around us.

I have painted other items over the years as well. I have painted over 500 canoe paddles of varying sizes and shapes. I have painted on slate, rock and wood.  Most of these items were custom orders, a gift for birthdays, anniversaries, friends and more. 

I love to paint. So over the last number of months Julie and I have been discussing what we should do. Out of that has come Backwoods Country Arts, which is me, Doug Wilkie, working under a name that covers more than fine art. 

I am painting traditional fine art, momentous, sayings and more. All hand painted all Canadian made. My supplies are when ever possible made in Canadian. I believe in this country and believe we should promote this country and all that it has to offer.

Backwoods Country Arts, a creative corner of my life, that expresses more than a painting on canvas. A company of one, creating pieces for as many people that would like something for their; home, cottage, office, man cave, garage, nursery, family room, garden patio, etc.

Backwoods Country Arts is Doug Wilkie, in Omemee Ontario, in the Kawarthas.
