THREE SISTERS, THREE PROFESSIONS
A member painting takes on a new symbolism, now that it’s been donated to the Calgary APEGGA office. Donor Penny Colton, P.Geoph., says the watercolour rendition of the Three Sisters Mountain near Canmore can now represent the three APEGGA professions. She donated the work from her own collection.
The artist is George Eynon, P.Geol., who is as passionate about painting rocks and landscapes as he is about his other life’s work, geology. Mr. Eynon grew up in London, U.K., where his passions for art, sports and science led him to the University of London for a bachelor of science degree. He earned an M.Sc. from McMaster University in Hamilton, before embarking on a rewarding career in the Alberta oil and gas industry in the mid-1970s. Mr. Eynon currently serves on the Alberta Energy Resources Conservation Board, as well as being a professional artist. A brief autobiography and a gallery of his work can be found on his website www.geoeynon.ca/index.php.
Ms. Colton served APEGGA as Manager, Geoscience Affairs, from 2003 to 2005. Active in both the Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicists and the Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists, her photographs of geoscience events and people have been featured in The PEGG, The Recorder and The Reservoir many times over the past five years. She is currently Recorder technical editor and also holds down a full-time job as senior geophysicist with Geophysical Service Incorporated in Calgary.
