Renowned Canadian artist Ken Danby who lived in Guelph most of his life died of heart failuire over the weekend while doing research in Algonquin Park.

Most of us, me included, will remember Danby's famous sports paintings such as "At The Crease", "Lacing Up", "Canada 4 USA 2", "Downhiller", and "Face Off". I own them all. More recently he has been interested in nature and scenic painting.

This is a great loss. We don't have many world renowned artists here in Canada and to lose Danby at 67 is certainly a big loss.
RIP Ken.:(
 
very sad for sure. I got "at the crease" for Xmas one year as a youngster and Ive taken it and hung it in my office at each of my jobs. Its a classic and sad to hear he's gone
