Me and You and the Red Canoe, written by Jean E. Pendziwol, is mononymous artist Phil’s first picture book.

Phil contemplates the view from his studio
Phil studied painting, printmaking, photography and design at the Alberta College of Art and Design, and the Ontario College of Art and Design. His paintings evoke memories as well as images and feelings from the past.

Gorgeous thumbnails of the picture book’s layout
His stunningly beautiful paintings rendered on wood panels give a nostalgic feeling, a perfect pairing with Jean E. Pendziwol’s poetic text.

A work in progress
