We welcome this amazing and highly recognized Canadian artist - Edward (Ted) Goodall. It is an honour to dedicate a page to his work.
Ted was a member of the Alpine Club of
Canada and past chairman of the Vancouver Island section for 1959 and
1960. Some of his climbs included Mt. Constance in Washington State, Mt.
Assiniboine camp, Mt. Magog, Mt. Sturdee, Hooker Glacier camp, Mount Robson
camp, Maligne Lake camp, and winter camps at Skoki and Little Yoho.
He would always find time to make water colour sketches and drawings
while at these camps which inspired him to start production of a calendar
of water colours. The originals were always sold after prints were
made by Grant Mann of Vancouver and the resulting calendars were a success
again. This was in the very late fifties and there was now a demand
for water colour post cards as well. Ted began to devote his time
to painting resulting in hundreds of scenes being used
commercially. Again, the originals were always sold and can be
found today hanging in homes worldwide.
