Wayne Hudson, REFLECTIONS

Running from October 5- December 7, 2026, the Headwaters Restaurant will feature the work of impressionist artist, Wayne Hudson, a local resident of Caledon. A graduate of York University’s Visual Arts Dept., Hudson has been exhibiting work in various venues for many years in addition to running a landscape business.

Reflections feature Hudson’s impressionist style of brightly coloured acrylics on canvas with images drawn from the natural world. 

Reflection- by definition, the word is about the “throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat or sound, without absorbing it” or it can also be used in the context of “serious thought or deliberation” 

“For me, the title of the show has both implications. I love the way water, snow or other surfaces in nature can reflect and change colour depending on the timing or type of light on a given day. Snow is no longer just white. Water becomes an amazing canvas, dancing with the colour of the sky, plants, trees, or wildlife. The birds, animals and landscape depicted in my work are not often shown in minute detail but are rather a means to an end, a fleeting impression. Many of my paintings begin with a colour and the bird or animal “wanders” onto the canvas a little later to complement the scene. Much of the inspiration for my work comes from the many hours spent in the outdoors, especially the times spent canoeing in the interior of Algonquin Park. Sometimes the silence is so absolute, the only sound is of my own breath and heartbeat. When I find myself in a remote place, I’m reminded of the beauty and artistry of our Creator. In our busy world full of sound and demands on our time, my work asks the viewer to pause and reflect on the sometimes small, simple, beauty found in the light, colour, and design around us.”

We acknowledge that the land on which we gather, and on which the Region of Peel operates, is part of the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. For thousands of years, Indigenous peoples inhabited and cared for this land. In particular we acknowledge the territory of the Ani-shinabek, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Ojibway/Chippewa peoples; the land that is home to the Metis; and most recently, the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation who are direct descendants of the Mississaugas of the Credit.

We are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land, and by doing so, give our respect to its first inhabitants.
