Toronto, ON - Canada

Ian Duncan MacDonald.

Born 1944 in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada - a relatively remote mining town in Northern Ontario. I paid my way through university by working each summer in those mines and smelters. My intention had been to pursue a career as an artist in Toronto. However, the responsibilities of a wife and children had made it very clear that I better pursue money full time and art part time. I was able to direct my creative skills to selling, marketing and inventing new products for some very large financial service corporations. I was well rewarded for my efforts, and now, for several years, I have been able to afford to pursue art full time and money part time.

In this website are examples of my work over my life time. One of my abstract oil paintings, 'Falling', was done when I was ten years old. Several that I did when I first came to Toronto, before I got married, are also here. During this period, I learned a lot from working with a group of artists in the Markham Village area of Toronto. I am still learning a lot every day about creating interesting images.

For decades, I worked in oil, acrylic, ink and pastels. Now, I mostly create images in a digital medium. The speed and effects l can create by manipulating pixels on a computer screen, I find very liberating.

You have landed on the GALLERIES page of my website. Here, my images have been grouped by category into 'galleries'. To view each gallery you click on the image above the name for that gallery. Thus, if you are only interested in flowers, you can quickly see all my flower images. To see the last image I added, click on the ARTWORK button, beside the GALLERIES button, below. Now, all images in this entire site will be mostly in a chronological order.

Fine Art America prints are giclee printed, one-at-a-time, on demand, for you, from the original high density digital image I supplied to them. The quality of their prints are far, far richer than any 'poster prints'.

Interested in my background? Go to my webstite www.informus.ca. If you have any questions or comments about my art, please contact me at imacd@informus.ca. I am always curious to learn why people have bought my images or why some keep going back to look at the same image over and over again. I hope you enjoy viewing my images as much as I enjoy creating them.
