#CanadaRemembers 🇨🇦 “Detachment” honours the lives lost during WW1 and reinforces the enduring importance of collective memory. It’s made from thousands of brass fasteners from the military records of Canadian soldiers. #sciart #canadianart #archives #CanadianForces #CanadianHistory #CanadaSky #art

I’m in 5a/4b 🇨🇦, and mine come back yearly, though they don’t start poking through until June. I let them die back to ensure the bulbs get nutrients for next spring, and the dead stems give winter cover. Only the red ones are hardy for me, but they do survive!

The third panel shows the close-up detail of Robert's 94 year old hands, resting. He dedicated his post-war life to teaching art, and his worn hands spoke symbolically to me about his skill and his impact on others as an educator. 9/9

Sarah Hatton @sarahhattonartist.com · 13/01/2026

The second panel is a flat, sky blue painted surface into which a technical diagram of a Spitfire bomber is woodburned. Robert had a toy model of this plane in his studio, and his eyes lit up when he talked about flying them. 8/9

Robert Hyndman sitting in the cockpit of his WW2 Spitfire. He is grinning at the camera.

Sarah Hatton @sarahhattonartist.com · 13/01/2026

About this portrait: The first panel is a view of Robert's face. He had shown me his handsome WW2 wartime photos (!!) and wondered why I would care to paint him as an old man? I tried to capture his intense gaze, the same look he had as a dashing young soldier photographed by Karsh. 7/9

"Robert Hyndman, 94" by Sarah Hatton Oil, resin, wood burning on panel, 2009 45.7 x 137cm (18” x 54”) #art #artshare #canadianart #artists #CanadaRemembers #ottawa #warartists #CanadianForces #CanadianHistory #CanadaSky 🇨🇦 6/9

Three part oil painting portraying the Canadian Artist Robert Hyndman (1915-2009). The first panel is a view of Robert's face. He is gazing to the right, and his face is heavily shadowed, his expression is serious. The second panel is a flat, sky blue surface into which a diagram of a Spitfire plane is woodburned. The third panel shows the close-up detail of Robert's 94 year old hands, resting.

When we talked about painting, there was no trace of the 60 years that separated us. I am very grateful for Robert’s service, both to our country, and to generations of painters in #Ottawa. 5/9

Robert wrote back, and over the next four years we exchanged letters, painting tips and critique, and went out to local art shows together. He allowed me to paint his portrait at the age of 94, while I listened to his war stories. It would be the last portrait of him before his death in 2009. 4/9

An array of handwritten letters, notes and photographs from artist Robert Hyndman to artist Sarah Hatton, both of Chelsea, Quebec. They talk about painting and gardening.

Sarah Hatton @sarahhattonartist.com · 13/01/2026

It meant so much to me that a 90-year-old artist had made such an effort to reach out to encourage a fellow artist six decades his junior, so I decided to respond to his gesture in a way that he would certainly appreciate: with a handwritten letter of gratitude. 3/9

Sarah Hatton @sarahhattonartist.com · 13/01/2026

Robert reasoned that when you connect with an artists’ work, you absolutely have to let them know it, and that my paintings were unlike anything he had ever seen. He had read that I was a fellow Chelsea resident, so he had simply looked me up in our local phone book and cold called me! 2/9

Sarah Hatton @sarahhattonartist.com · 13/01/2026

20 years ago, I received an unexpected phone call from an impeccably formal gentleman who introduced himself as Robert Hyndman, 90. I recognized him immediately as the Canadian War Artist and figurative painter. Robert explained that he had seen my military-themed work in the @ottawacitizen.com 1/9
