Susan Chouljian steps closer to the vibrant painting, thick with snow = and=20 streams of blues, purples and oranges.

=E2=80=9CHe paints all the coldness of Canada and makes me think of = the Canada that=20 people assume it is,=E2=80=9D she says.

=E2=80=9CI think a lot of Canadian artists tend to do really good = landscapes,=E2=80=9D her=20 mother Sharon Woyat says from a bench in the middle of West = Van=E2=80=99s Ferry Building=20 Gallery.

=E2=80=9CIt seems kind of similar to how the First Nations do their = art,=E2=80=9D Chouljian=20 adds looking over the lines in Ted Harrison=E2=80=99s painting depicting = the cremation=20 of Sam McGee.

No matter how one dissects his work, it is simply Canadian, they both = agree.=20

The exhibit showcases 27 original illustrations from both The = Cremation of=20 Sam McGee and The Shooting of Dan McGrew. It=E2=80=99s on loan from the = Yukon Arts=20 Centre and none of the work has been reproduced, says Ruth Payne, the = gallery=E2=80=99s=20 visual-arts coordinator.

=E2=80=9CI think (Harrison=E2=80=99s paintings) bring out the child = in everyone,=E2=80=9D she says in=20 her upstairs office. =E2=80=9CIt is very immediate. And I think it has a = universal=20 appeal.=E2=80=9D

What makes Harrison=E2=80=99s work so Canadian is partly the subject = matter, she=20 says, but colour is also very important. Plein Air painter Alfonso = Tejada, who=E2=80=99s=20 been standing by Payne=E2=80=99s desk during the conversation jumps in. =

=E2=80=9CEvery country has its colour pallet,=E2=80=9D he says.

Canada has one too, but it=E2=80=99s also a mish-mash of hues as = immigrants bring=20 their own perspective with them, Tejada said.

Originally from Mexico, Tejada has seen Canada=E2=80=99s greys and = blues creep into=20 his own work.

Harrison was an English immigrant. In 1945, he worked in the = Intelligence=20 Unit of the British Army and did a three-year tour in North Africa. = Later as a=20 teacher he travelled to Malaysia and New Zealand.

But the true north was his true love, Payne says.

=E2=80=9CI thought it was great to bring the north to us,=E2=80=9D = she says of the exhibit=20 which runs until March 5.

Outside the building amid a sea of red and white spirit, Alec Grover = tosses a=20 football around, while his brother, Max, licks an ice cream on this = sunny=20 February day.

Canadian art, Alec thinks, his eyes starring at the blue sky.

=E2=80=9CIt always seems to do with landscapes,=E2=80=9D the 11 year = old says. =E2=80=9CIn almost=20 every single Canadian community you can=E2=80=99t look out from a = community without=20 seeing rivers or trees.=E2=80=9D

He points across Ambleside Park to Lions Gate Bridge as an example. = Max,=20 who=E2=80=99s now finish his ice cream, adds, =E2=80=9CMaple leaves are = Canadian too.=E2=80=9D
