Welcome! We sell acrylic and egg tempera paintings and limited edition Giclées by Canadian artist and printmaker John Crittenden to dealers and collectors around the world.

Canada West Collection

Since his first one-person show at Lambs Art Gallery in Calgary, Alberta in 1966 John has never wavered from painting the history of Western Canada. From "First Snow", a painting of a cowboy and his packhorse in an Alberta Foothills snowstorm, he has since produced more than 1,200 paintings and had more than 50 one-person shows across Canada in venues ranging from commercial art galleries, Expo 86, the McLaughlin Museum and the National Art Centre.

John is of Irish and Anishinabe Ojibway ancestry whose lineage can be traced back to Ojibway Indians living in the White Mud River settlement on the shores of Lake Manitoba.

The Canada West Collection is an ongoing series of limited edition Giclées which represents John's continuing salute to this mystical and almost orphic land that stretches from the wide open spaces of Saskatchewan, to the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, and on to the Cariboo Chilcotin, Great Bear and Pacific Coast Rainforests of British Columbia.

This ongoing collection includes signed and numbered limited edition Giclées of paintings John has produced over the years on subjects as varied as old farmsteads, working cowboys, big game animals, Queen Charlotte Islands, coastal seascapes, and prairie landscapes, all woven into the history of Western Canada.
