March 1st and today is the beginning of my blog site. I am excited to begin posting and displaying my paintings. I am also looking forward to your posts and comments. I have just finished preparing a few canvases so they will be ready to receive the colours and shapes that will bring them to life -- risky business for some but then again, I like to take chances-- especially the ones that will bring about positive results.
This painting titled "A Walk In The Woods" - SOLD is painted with acrylics on canvas and is from a photograph I took on a drive up to Clark Lake, Quebec. The weekend was great and the snow was just beautiful. It lay heavy on branches of the tall pine trees. It was one vast, never-ending winter wonderland. Driving deeper into the woods to get to the cottage, it was as if I was being magically lured into the woods and all I could see for miles around me were the dense majestic pines, the expanse of snow that lay on the ground like a jewelled blanket with it's lavender shadows and champagne dappled sun beckoning me to get out of the car and lie in it, maybe even make some snow angels.
The sun coming through the trees created a glow around me that was warm, inviting and flirted with the idea that spring could be just on the other side of this Canadiana delight. If I had a picnic basket with me, I would have stopped and laid down a cloth and enjoyed some cheese and maybe even a glass of wine, okay some organic blueberry juice pour moi. The moment brought a song to my head and I began to hum it. Do you remember the song The Teddy Bear's Picnic that goes like this: "If you go out in the woods today, you're in for a big surprise..."
Take a look at what happened when I waltzed with the canvas below. Can you see yourself going for a winter picnic in such a beautiful place?

Wow! this is not only a beautiful painting but the writing is creative. It's like I'm reading a book. Will follow this blog. One suggestion, you might like to add if you are part of any art clubs or belong to any art groups and post their links on your blog site as well. Delighted! Anon.
ReplyDeleteGreat work. Good layout and artistic colour selection for your blog site. Content is interesting. Post often, put as many of your paintings on your blog site as you can and keep blogging. From a seasoned blogger.
ReplyDeleteI think it's cool. I can see myself going to the woods in your painting and meandering through the woods. Does this place really exist? Anonymous.
