Roger Savage - Painting site near Bromont, QC Sep. 2008          While painting in the Tantramar Marshes, as a young art student at Mount Allison University, Roger Savage learned early in his career. "I need to work outdoors, on site. I can't duplicate the feeling and the light in my studio." Inspired to capture the "light and shadow of Nature", where weather conditions change in seconds, he discovered that watercolour and paper were the best media from which to form his images. "Tube paints give me intense colours instantly. Because clouds can blow in and alter the light, I have to work very, very fast. Using water-based paint I can keep things very loose and fluid. If a wash bleeds, or a dark area unintentionally appears it can stay, if I like it." With a need to paint outdoors, Savage has travelled the world. He has documented the majestic glaciers, icebergs and crisp clear light of Otto Fiord, Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, as well as the passionate reds of bougainvilleas in Colombia.
Sea spray has more than occasionally left its mark on his work. Savage's paintings which have been created in the midst of the sand dunes of Carter's Beach and the primordial granite forms of Cadden Bay are prized by collectors, everywhere.
