In Memory of Saltair Artist Lyle Duxbury
Saltair Artist: Lyle Duxbury Born 1935 – Died July 4th 2016
“Forms, colour and medium, reflect my whims and persona. They are swept away on an odyssey filled with metaphysical shadows that drift in and out on a wake of alpha, beta, and delta waves. Born out of this ebb and flow are man and animal forms that are interdependent, one to another, as they float cheek to jowl in my metaphysic sea. The collective aesthete paints society all hues. When one colours over and beyond the lines of the status quo it is labeled ART”
Lyle began painting at the age of 4. He was an honours graduate at Vancouver School of Art and taught at the Vancouver Institute of Art. He lived in Mexico, Toronto and Chemainus before landing in Saltair. His awards and galleries that displayed his works spanned the globe – Canada, USA, Mexico, Japan, Spain
To his neighbours he was the artist who cared deeply about his art, took long walks, and once owned a lovely peacock named Leonardo.
In his later years he was grateful for the help he received from his neighbours. People with that Saltair community spirit mowed his lawns, took him to appointments, took him shopping, put up a chain link fence, brought his groceries, and generally made sure he was okay.
He will be missed in Saltair and the world art community.

The Saltair Song by Terry Boyle
THE SALTAIR SONG Terry Boyle 03/11/15
Well look what they miss on the highway
When they’re hurrying from here to there
They may get where they’re going without ever knowing
The beautiful place called Saltair.
Well it’s neither a town nor a city
But it’s rather a home that we share
With its forest and trails as we walk by the rails
Beside Stocking Creek Park in Saltair.
When the warm summer breezes are blowing
And the sunshine has banished all care
To the sand at the big rock the happy kids flock
To Boulder Point here in Saltair
Our water is some of the purest
That’s something incredibly rare
All credit we’ll take for our fine Stocking Lake
As its nectar flows down to Saltair.
The people of Saltair are friendly
With a helping hand always to spare
The community centre’s a brand new adventure
For the volunteers here in Saltair.
We have a safe, tropical climate
The palm trees grow tall in the parks
Owls, eagles and deer can have grub through the year
And we can stroll in Saltair after dark.
The Lagoon is a wonderful feature
With flora and fauna so rare
Keep your eyes on the road as the log barge unloads
Or you’ll end up in the drink in Saltair.
We may wander the world in our travels
To Istanbul, Duncan or Rome
We may not be as famous as downtown Chemainus
But it’s Saltair we love to call home.
