About Peter Ewart Home Movies
Peter Ewart, an introduction:
In the summer of 1929, an eleven year old boy and his father boarded a train in Montreal. They were starting on a vacation trip which was to take them through the Canadian Rockies to Prince Rupert, by boat down the coast to Vancouver, then eastward again via the Central Interior. The boy was Peter Ewart, and little did he know then that, years later, he would become noted for his ability to capture in paint the scenic grandeur of the landscape that was making his eyes grow wide, and stirring his young heart during the course of those vacation days.
