Plattsburgh State Art Museum, Plattsburgh, ny. others who dismiss him as merely an illustrator of books. Kent was something of a loner, an eccentric, as well as a political radical. He travelled along less-trodden paths: Newfoundland, 1914–15; Alaska 1918–19; Tierra del Fuego, 1922–23; as well as several trips to Greenland between 1929 and 1935. By this time the camera could have done the work, but Kent was driven to “live the view” and moved between the proposition of objective information and the intangibles of observation (what comes through the eye, what is felt through the skin).

It was there, in the midst of tremendous excitement, that his vision, his desire, and his sense of untapped possibilities for his art began to grow. One day around the year 2000, out in the Redberry-Blaine Lake area looking for something to paint with Tim Nowlin, painter, friend, and University of Saskatchewan professor of art, they came upon a small slough. It was late evening David says, with a very light wind blowing and a yellow filtered light low on the horizon. The slough was rimmed by the usual shrubs – willows, probably saskatoons and chokecherry bushes – and tall slough grasses; the water was darkish, its surface strewn here and there with bits of floating vegetation.

He says, in an interview with Robert Enright: “The colours I use might only happen for a fraction of a second as a reflection, or it might be the rock reflecting the light, but it’s all there. ”5 So, when I first looked at David’s paintings, I fell for the colour, the beauty. As I looked a little longer, I also became fascinated by the movement in the painted landscapes: his expression of struggle inside a landscape, of its own sense of incompleteness. Maybe that’s David’s sense, as if soon things would come together; something would appear out of the landscape that would explain everything.
