Artistic Biography of “Phil the Forecaster” Chadwick
Trained at Queen's University as a nuclear physicist, “Phil the Forecaster" has been a professional meteorologist since 1976.  However, painting has always been his passion.  Phil is an avid “plein air” painter when he’s not doing severe weather prediction for Environment Canada or tending his apiary on Watershed Farm near Schomberg. Phil paints strong, colourful panels of Canadiana with a passion for visually expressing the effects of weather on water, land and light.
 
Phil became the first Southampton Art School Artist in Residence in 2006. His work was also accepted to hang along side the work of some big name Canadian artists in the Algonquin Arts Centre and other galleries in Ontario . He also toured across Canada as the 2006 Tour Speaker for the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society. Phil’s work now hangs around the world… life is good!
 
In his own words: “I live and paint out of passion for the natural world. I am inspired by nature, family and fellow artists to see beyond the surface and to share the experience – a vision in pigment and texture. My immediate goal is to extract the maximum amount of inspiration from the moment and have fun doing it while surrounded by and immersed in the natural elements. Somehow the soul of the scene finds its way on to the canvas.

My simple desire is to make the next painting my new favourite and to improve in capturing the essence of the subject with lots of colour and bold strokes!

Life is good ... very good! Plus you gotta laugh!”
