======================
The Red Pony as an emblem, had its debut in a painting entitled the same name in 1983. The painting “The Red Pony” 1983, 53” x 72” is in the collection of Susan and the late Nat Tileston, and I really don’t know why I used the Red Pony in an abstract painting. Paint The Town in 2002/2003, and again in 2024 saw the return of the Red Pony as part of of the counterpoints to the abstract painting style. The Red Pony and other friends became significant counterpoints in the abstract gestural where geometric shapes once held the abstracted painted gestures in place in a dynamic of opposition.
Wayne was the recipient of the 2006 Nova Scotia Portia White Award for excellence, innovation, and expression in the arts. The recipient of numerous grants from provincial and federal agencies including a Canada Council Established Artist Grant in 2001, other key professional successes include winning the 2004 juried competition to execute the mural entitled Réveil for the new Interpretation Centre at Grand-Pré National Historic Site. Boucher became a member of the Royal Canadian Academy in 2002.
In 2012, “Drowning in Colour” was the first comprehensive documentary to be made about the Art of Wayne Boucher, and was directed and edited by Alan Collins. In 2014, three of his paintings were selected in a Foreign Affairs Canada design competition for meeting room carpets in the redecorated Nova Scotia Room, Pacific Room, and a Reception area at Canada House, London, UK.
