Norman Antony Onley 
      Canadian painter (b. Nov. 20, 1928, Douglas, Isle of Man—d. Feb. 29, 2004, Maple Ridge, B.C.), was internationally known for his evocative Impressionist paintings of western and northern Canada and was famous for his 1983 threat to burn his entire inventory in an ultimately successful fight against Revenue Canada. Onley, who loved to fly his plane into the backcountry to paint, died when his float plane plunged into the Fraser River 48 km (30 mi) east of Vancouver while he was practicing takeoffs and landings.
