Ltd.; 1991) Streams and waterways feature prominently in Ted Godwin’s paintings. As a mature artist, it would seem that the subject held particular significance for the artist, who identified as a Buddhist. Godwin grew up on the banks of the Elbow River in Calgary, walking and fly fishing the river with his father. Both his parents’ ashes were later scattered over the Bow River. In his book (page 11), Godwin wrote: “In retrospect, most of the time I spent growing up was streamside, although this memory lay dormant for a long time. Old memories now merge with new and the only constant is the current of the dark stream that flows through my life. It seems to me that the images and rhythms of streamside have formed an integral part of whatever it is that is Ted.” 24 | Roland Gissing Ted Godwin was the youngest member of the Regina Five, a name given to the avant-garde Canadian ASA [1895-1967] group of artists when they were featured in the National Gallery of Canada’s 1961 touring WINTER SUNSET exhibition “Five Painters from Regina”.
