Description

I would like to share my thoughts on life with this poem as now I see more than ever what the real meaning is for me. The picture insert is a painting I did with the thoughts and feelings of aging, obscured vision depicted by the dirty window, the ripped blind and worn window frame, the over paint onto the glass the frayed collar on the shirt all a sense of wear with age....This is all done with my grandfather in mind...a wonderful man who in his younger years became crippled in a farming accident yet still carried on to head a loving family.............
Ron Haist is an award winning artist encompassing a broad range of creative forms.
He has successfully expressed himself using various mediums such as pencil, pen and ink, oils/acrylic, airbrush, photography, poetry and pyrography.
As an artist that captures Canadian scenes, his work has spread throughout North America and Europe.
Growing up in Hespeler, Ontario (now part of Cambridge), his natural surroundings provided endless inspiration to sketch. His subject of choice has always been rural scenes, nature and wildlife. As a boy with a vivid imagination, Ron had snowmen riding horses.
As time progressed his photography skills preserved his subjects for later pieces of art. Ron￿s keen and creative eye has also won him photographic awards for outstanding captures.
In the 70￿s, airbrushing was yet another form of creative expression and produced many award winning works. All the while Ron was still creating canvas pieces and showing in galleries.
Ron￿s natural artistic talent is also found in his words of expression. We have included some of his thoughts and feelings through poetry.
During the past few years, Ron has found himself venturing back into an area of creative expression he used as a boy, Pyrography. This art form has also met with great enthusiasm by viewers and again, has brought accolades and awards.
It is with great pleasure that we share a small glimpse of a diverse artist, through the world and words of Ron Haist.
￿Painting is poetry, that is seen rather than felt.
