Lot description - from the online catalogue*
Provenance:
Mayberry Fine Art, Toronto
Provate Collection, Toronto
Notes:
William Roy Brownridge was born in 1932 in the heart of the Western Canadian prairies in Rosetown, Saskatchewan. Born with Spina Bifida, the young Bill was fascinated with sports, but unable to participate. A lifelong interest in art grew out of his disability. Forced to remain seated for long periods, Bill started to draw, and then to paint. He began to see the possibility of art as a way to escape his immobility - to gain some degree of independence.
