Simple Films has made a facebook 'fan' page on the film they are in the process of making, "Mark Brennan, An Artist for All Seasons". I think their plan is to keep everyone up to date with the progress and post production. Stuart Cresswell followed me around for about a year to make this film, a more precise rough cut ...has been made which I will get to see in the next week or so.

Mark Brennan I spend a lot of time in the woods, an for me it's always good to be able to get a fire going quickly esspecially if i get wet and cold. This is how i do it with a simple flint and steel.

Mark Brennan November Wetland. Gone are the summer human visitors,a wonderful time of year to visit the National Parks, so quiet. You could see Brook Trout feeding in the shallow water here.
Mark Brennan Always nice to see a Moose. This little guy was feeing frantically by the side of the road in Fundy National Park, New Brunswick. I would say he is about to go into his first winter alone and is likely almost 2 years old. I spent a day in the park today, exploring a deep ravine and wetland.
Mark Brennan On the Coast of the Bay of Fundy New Brunswick, the tides rule here and can drop 28ft in six hours. This is Flowr Pot Rock, sculpted by the force of water over thousands of years.
I am here in a part of the world that is claimed to be one of the last remaining wild coastlines between Florida and Labrador on North America’s Eastern Seaboard. The location is the Fundy Parkway on the Northern Shore of the Bay of Fundy, a remote coastline devoted to preservation. ...
Mark Brennan It’s always nice to see Stuart Creswell the film maker who produced the up coming documentary on life as a landscape painter. It was even nicer when he gave me a couple of bottles of wine from the well known Nova Scotia vineyard, Jost. Imagine my surprise when I looked at the label to see it was me! I was on the label.... I was tickled pink, well red,,, and white! Stuart had wanted to get a couple of audio quotes to complete the film, which is now in post production. The photo on the label is me painting on location in Northern Newfoundland at a place called Cape Onion. The next ‘stop’ over the ocean from this location is Greenland! Definitely one of my favourite takes from the film. This week has been busy, working hard producing new work for a gallery in Halifax that is going to represent me. More on that later. In the mean time, a small glass of wine to celebrate perhaps.

If you have a spare 17 minutes, have a look at this facinating film from the National Film Board of Canada depicting one of my heroes, Canadian Painter AY Jackson. The film which dates from 1941 follows Jackson into the Canadian Wilderness as he paints on location. We see his winter studio where such famous canvas's we...re painted. We feel his passion for his work and watch him canoe into remote lakes to find his motif. Truly a Canadian hero from the past. http://www.nfb.ca/film/canadian_landscap
