In Memory of Saltair Artist Lyle Duxbury

Lyle Duxbury “Soft Landing #4

Saltair Artist:  Lyle Duxbury  Born 1935 –  Died July 4th  2016

“Forms, colour and medium, reflect my whims and persona. They are swept away on an odyssey filled with metaphysical shadows that drift in and out  on a wake of alpha, beta, and delta waves. Born out of this ebb and flow are man and animal forms that are interdependent, one to another, as they float cheek to jowl in my metaphysic sea. The collective aesthete paints society all hues. When one colours over and beyond the lines of the status quo it is labeled ART”

Lyle began painting at the age of 4. He was an honours graduate at Vancouver School of Art and taught at the Vancouver Institute of Art. He lived in Mexico, Toronto and Chemainus before landing in Saltair. His awards and galleries that displayed his works spanned the globe – Canada, USA, Mexico, Japan, Spain

To his neighbours he was the artist who cared deeply about his art, took long walks, and once owned a lovely peacock named  Leonardo.
In his later years he was grateful for the help he received from his neighbours. People with that Saltair community spirit mowed his lawns, took him to appointments, took him shopping, put up a chain link fence, brought his groceries, and generally made sure he was okay.
He will be missed in Saltair and the world art community.

The Saltair Song by Terry Boyle

THE SALTAIR SONG                                                            Terry Boyle              03/11/15

 

Well look what they miss on the highway

When they’re hurrying from here to there

They may get where they’re going without ever knowing

The beautiful place called Saltair.

 

Well it’s neither a town nor a city

But it’s rather a home that we share

With its forest and trails as we walk by the rails

Beside Stocking Creek Park in Saltair.

 

When the warm summer breezes are blowing

And the sunshine has banished all care

To the sand at the big rock the happy kids flock

To Boulder Point here in Saltair

 

Our water is some of the purest

That’s something incredibly rare

All credit we’ll take for our fine Stocking Lake

As its nectar flows down to Saltair.

 

The people of Saltair are friendly

With a helping hand always to spare

The community centre’s a brand new adventure

For the volunteers here in Saltair.

 

We have a safe, tropical climate

The palm trees grow tall in the parks

Owls, eagles and deer can have grub through the year

And we can stroll in Saltair after dark.

 

The Lagoon is a wonderful feature

With flora and fauna so rare

Keep your eyes on the road as the log barge unloads

Or you’ll end up in the drink in Saltair.

 

We may wander the world in our travels

To Istanbul, Duncan or Rome

We may not be as famous as downtown Chemainus

But it’s Saltair we love to call home.
