     Delisle Parker is a poet in paint. In addition to this his paintings have an admirable, rich paint quality, are highly organized and embody an imagination and sensitive perception of whatever he paints. Whether it be city scenes, the Fraser Canyon, the Cariboo or Indian legends his paintings possess a poet's vision of unusual distinction."
