Great Canadian Painter Ken Lochhead RIP


I hadn't head this until I checked out Timmer Readtree's blog tonight.

"Painter Kenneth Lochhead, who helped put Saskatchewan on the national arts scene map with the Emma Lake workshops and as a member of the Regina Five, has died. He was 80."

When I was a young painter, Lochhead and the other Regina guys were Canadian heros to me.
