		It was Onley's passion for exploring the wilderness landscapes of Canada that led him to become the flying painter, flying into rainbows -- and of course dead center into the accompanying rainstorm-landing on lakes and mountain glaciers.
		To that end, Strong made the decision to tell The Toni Onley Story entirely in Onley's words, drawing on hours of taped conversations, revisions during the writing of the work, and on Onley's diaries of, for instance, his trip to India.
		Onley is generous in sharing the stories of the highs and lows of his life, from observing the gentle colors of Arctic icebergs, to fleeing murderous doctors in Mexico, to that plane crash, to the devastation of being left by Yukiko.

	Gregory Strong's Noticeboard
		A natural storyteller, Toni Onley seems to have travelled almost everywhere and had one of the most eventful lives of anyone I know, We met in 1986 when I was on assignment for Beautiful British Columbia magazine.
		Toni, fifty-eight at the time, nearly twice my age, landed the aircraft, unpacked our supplies, then painted all afternoon, setting such an energetic pace that I felt hard-pressed to keep up with him.
		I did follow-up interviews with Toni and others, then attempted to render the wonderful stories I had collected into a linear narrative that I hope will carry not only the drama of the stories themselves but also the force of Toni's personality and his infectious sense of humour.

		It began when Onley approached Blodgett to write a few poems about her husband, renowned painter Toni Onley, who died in an airplane accident in February 2004.
		For her part, Onley’s photographs often have the diffused, haunting qualities of her husband’s watercolours of West Coast and arctic wilderness: a driftwood log muscles in and out of tide-smoothed sand, drifting cloud veils coastal mountains, the horizon disappears in the grey wash of sea and sky.
		The photographs, then, act as a brilliant metaphor for the elegiac mode: the transmutation of grief into the formality of lyric lament is mirrored by the act of “exchanging” photographic expression for the watercolour brush.
