Growing up in a classic Canadian family playing hockey year round and spending the majority of his free time in the Northern outdoors fly fishing, exploring the various lakes and streams in Southern Ontario and walking through different forests; “The Canadian” as his wife of 19 years calls him; developed a close relationship with the natural world as a young child.

That relationship is the basis for his art, in which the shapes and textures of nature are turned into Northern Canadian forest and landscape paintings. Blair paints in a variety of styles but primarily in an expressionist and impressionistic style. He also paints a very wide variety of subjects from Landscapes and Wildlife Paintings to Figurative Paintings and Abstracts. The majority of his paintings are completed in Oil but he also uses acrylics for small studies in the field.
