So saddened to hear that Robbie Robertson has passed away. The Band was one of Ken’s favourites and their albums were in constant rotation in Ken’s studio. #theband #robbierobertson

Lovely letter published in @TorontoStar last week remembering Ken’s portrait of #gordonlightfoot @masseyhall @Lightfoot365

Saddened to hear of #GordonLightfoot passing. Ken and Gord met in the early 1960s #Yorkville coffeehouse scene and remained friends during their respective careers. ("Gordon Lightfoot" oil on canvas, 1988)

"The arts have a role to play in a sustainable future. We have the ability to create, not necessarily solutions, but ways in which we can rally around the problem. The arts bring forward the storytellers and we need to tell our stories." @EdwardBurtynsky #WhaleDay @queensu

Like "Study for At the Crease", Ken often explored his subject in #watercolour with magnificent results. #atthecrease #atthecrease50

This year is the 50th anniversary of Ken's iconic painting, "At the Crease". We'll tweet some trivia about the painting over the next few weeks and would love to hear any stories about it you have to tell! #atthecrease #canadianart #hockey

Today is the 15th anniversary of Ken's death. He passed too early, but we are left with his wonderful legacy. #canadianart #artist #painting

@CanadaPaintings Take a moment and reflect on the fact that this painting is in watercolour! 🤯

Ken painted 6 watercolours of Olympic athletes in 1976. They were recently on display at the #Klinkoff Gallery in Montreal. View them online

@CanadaPaintings Ken painted this at the 1984 Sarajevo #Olympics. As part of his assignment for @CTV Sports, he was tasked with creating a new painting every day!

[Ken Danby @kendanby]

Ken created a set of 4 serigraphs for the 1976 Montreal #Olympics. The process for creating these was different than for his other serigraphs, as pencil drawings (rather than ink) were used for their foundation #rowing #diving #polevault #hurdles

Chance to own a Danby original! Two early (1969 & 1971) watercolours currently for auction by @cowleyabbott #canadianart

Ken loved Hornby Island, BC and it's locales were featured in several of his paintings, including "Helliwell" (oil on canvas, 1996).

I always loved At The Crease by Ken Danby. I've had a small print that my mom got me sitting above my computer screen for years.
