The paintings presented above are examples of Norval Morrisseau's original art that appeared on Ritchie Sinclair's website www.stardreamers.com in "Woodland Art Online" Gallery under the category: "Norval Morrisseau - Masterpieces" and stayed there for more than three years.
-
The same information cannot be found at www.stardreamers.com anymore due to deletion of the "Woodland Art Online" Gallery by its webmaster as explained in "Changing Faces of Ritchie "Stardreamer" Sinclair (Part I)".

Presented below are screen captures of the same paintings that Ritchie Sinclair's on his website labeled as "Inferior Countrfeit Morrisseaus" since October 2008. -

The above painting is very similar to 'Water Spirits' (1979) which was authenticated by Norval Morrisseau in 2005 (click HERE) and offered for sale at the Coghlan Art Studio & Gallery and initially posted on this blog on 24-DEC-2007. For this post the comment was placed by Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair stating: "And a beautiful Morrisseau it is - so embued with Vision!" (Click HERE to read the comment in it's original context and/or click HERE to see side-by-side comparison of both of these images).
-
Note: If you click on 'Stardreamer' in original comment posting from 24-DEC-2007 it will direct you to the Ritchie Sinclair's website www.stardreamers.com which proves that he was the one posting it. -

>>> BLOG MASTER'S COMMENT:
-
After starting the 'Norval Morrisseau Art Market Devaluation Attack' Mr. Sinclair added the following disclaimer note at the end of each of the pages on his website www.stardreamers.com in "Woodland Art Online" Gallery:
-
"The images posted in this archive are not for sale. They are simply pictures that I collected from various internet art sources years ago and posted here for inspiration and enjoyment. With the exception of paintings that I witnissed painted or Exhibited by Morrisseau I have no way of discerning whether the images shown here are all authentic Morrisseau originals. Nevertheless, Enjoy!"
-
... Still, even after admitting that 'he has no way of discerning what is and what is not an original work by Norval Morrisseau except those he witnessed painted or Exhibited by Norval Morrisseau' he was able to label hundreds of paintings in galleries all across the North America and private collections as "Inferior Counterfeit Morrisseaus" without even seeing them and examining them in person (see his website www.morrisseau.com under the category "Counterfeit Norval Morrisseau Art").
-
... Also, Mr. Ritchie 'Stardreamer' Sinclair stated in his disclaimer that he posted said images 'for inspiration and enjoyment' and after three years of exhibiting them on www.stardreamers.com he claimed on his other website www.morrisseau.com the following:
-
"I stand by my opinions on the artwork that I have pointed to as forged. I don't blame any gallery for selling them but I consider it their responsibility to be as informed as possible about the work they promote. Once informed if they continue to sell forged artwork they join the Windigo spirit that drives this enterprise."

-
>>> CLOSING STATEMENT:
-
The capture of my findings proves one thing only. That Mr. Sinclair who is claiming to be a protégé of Norval Morrisseau is well aware of his 'hypocritical and lying past activities' which have come to the fore in real time 'cought red-handed' as it were in trying to cover up his scheme of 'Norval Morrisseau Art Market Devaluation Attack' but was unsuccessful at deleting critical and damning evidence supporting his slanderous activities.

A conclusive summary of all the activity presented in detail with before and after screen captures by SpiritWalker has illuminated the fact to the public that Ritchie 'StarDreamer' Sinclair is a disgruntled failed artist. Who took it upon himself to damage the market through lies and has been coaught doing so. This individual has cost hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage to the legacy of the late Great Norval Morrisseau.This damage will be repaired. Historical record shows that all great artists must go through a 'baptism of cleansing' in regards to their works of art. Dali,Chagal,Warhol and Picasso were no different.
Key people in the past such as Randy Potter and Joe McLeod could have put a stop to all of this when they both had the chance and oppurtunity to do so but descided to ignore what was brewing in the back ground.Ignor-ance is not bliss gentleman.
This whole mess began on May 18th 2001 with Donald Robinson of Kinsman Robinson Galleries in Toronto Ontario. This gallery owner took it upon himself to seed controversy in the art market with intentions to corner and control the art market associated with Norval Morrisseau.He along with others thought that they could contain and control the fire which they started and focus the public's attention on a particular period of art that Norval Morrisseau was resposible for painting.Namely the 1970's period.Which ironically has now become the most documented period of art coming from this artist and the safest to buy. As an avid dealer and purchaser of art from Randy Potter auctions,Mr.Donald Robinson ended up buying 28 paintings from said auction house. He proclaimed them as forgeries after 14 months of ownership and never requested a refund from Mr.Randy Potter who was willing to do so. Mr. Robinson's failure to contract Randy Potter's supplier ie.Mr.David Voss created the 'greedy panic' exhibited by Mr. Donald Robinson's actions afterwards with the National Post article dated May 18th 2001 attack.
Mr. Donald Robinson of Kinsman Robinson Galleries publicly announced that these 28 paintings were submitted to the Norval Morrisseau Heritage Society for research purposes. These 28 paintings were never submitted to the Norval Morrisseau Heritage Society for research purposes.A blatant lie.I suggest that the Norval Morrisseau Heritage Society commence a lawsuit against Mr.Donald Robinson for putting this organization into jeopardy in regards to their reputation as an organizing body of intellectuals involved in the noble task of cataloging Norval Morrisseau's entire artwork history.
