Clinton News-Record, 1985-5-29, Page 46Page 8-CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5,1985 Loates awards winners By James Friel WINGHAM - It hasn't been easy for artist Glen Rtes to get this far but he persevered through the negative times and comments, developing the precocious talent of his youth until he has become one off today's premier wildlife artists. And he can add, "I've never done a day of work in my life" because of the love he has for painting nature and all its elements. Mr. Loates was in Wingham on May 24 to present the winners of a conservation poster contest with prints of his work. The contest, sponsored by the Maintland Valley and Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authorities and the Wingham office of the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), in- vited Huron and Perth elementary school children in grades five and six to draw a poster on the theme The Key to Con- servation: Responsible Stewardship. Howick Central School students Carolyn Winkel, Corrie Fatt, Brenda Baumgarten, Philip Baumgarten and Ty Roberts cap- tured all five top places with Carolyn Winkel chosen as overall winner. The use of a book on Mr. Loates as a gift to the elementary school and of his prints as prizes to poster winners, and of course his presence at the ceremony demonstrate his deep commitment to "a great cause," the conservation and the hard work to educate people to preserve valuable natural resources. In fact, his being named Wingham District's Wildlife Conservation Am- bassador for 1985 stirred him to say it is "more important than you'll ever know." He started his career in art in the early fif- ties with "just doodlings like any other kid" but his mother recognized some of the talent in his youthful drawings and through the years kept examples which show his early accomplishments and subsequent develop- ment. His early drawings are from his old neighborhood on Mount Pleasant in Toronto, pictures of horse- drawn milk carts and domestic animals. In 1952, his family moved and he started visiting the Riverdale Zoo, "in those days the only place to see 'wild' animals in the form of lions and tigers" and other beasts. He would carry his sketch pad to the zoo and draw the animals! "For some reason I never put them behind bars which is where they were, in ce- ment cages." The artist would put in im- aginary backgrounds, the plains of Africa perhaps, and all this done when he was about seven -years -old. - . The move also gave him the opportunity • to get into the country which also influenced his development. Walt Disney wildlife films were another major influence at the time, "they inspired me a great deal" and he is still enthusiastic about them and their im- pact on his life: "I became more and more aware that was what I wanted to do." "My father was a talented artist in his own right," said Mr. Loates. "If he hadn't had the burden of four and some time, he probably would have been quite 'an ac- complished artist -in his own right." He quit school in Grade 9 - he failed are history -and eventually got a job. He worked at a commercial studio for over a year on the promis that he would eventually have time to develop himself, but the young man found himself in early each day to clean up before the older, more experienced artist started • work. It was frustrating and "I almost threw in the towel" until one dayhe was tramping the streets in search of a job having left the studio.

Now Mr. Loates has reached the point where he believes he has painted the largest watercolor in the world, presently on display at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM). The watercolor - in his favorite medium - is of a Siberian Tiger, the first non -North American animal he has done, and is on a five and three quarter foot by seven foot canvas. The painting was commissioned by Elec- trolux for their main offices in Stratford, Connecticut and took 14 months to do, three months for research and 11 months for the acutal painting. A Siberian Tiger from the Metro Zoo was used as a model. Other recent paintings include a group of fox kits which "just look like they popped out of the dryer, they're all rolling around" and a loon family commissioned by E.D. Smith and to be released this summer, "probably in limited edition prints." Carleton cards is also planning tQ release some of Mr. Loates' art as part of a whole new program but, "I have to do the pain- tings first-" Currently, he and his family are living in Maple, just north of Toronto. "My wife would love to live in the city and I want to live in Timbuktu somewhere, so this is a compromise," he said, grinning. His pleasure in the ministry's choice of ambassador was displayed throughout his visit to the Wingham offices. Although it has only been three months, he said, "I'd like to become involved in more projects, hopefully something next year." Howick Central School took top honors for a poster competition sponsored by the Maitland Valley .and Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authorities and the Wingham office of the Ministry of Natural Resources. With wildlife artist Glen Loates, who presented the children with prints of his work are, Ty Roberts, Philip Baumgarten, Carolyn Winkel, first place, Corrie Fatt and Brenda Baumgarten.
