Description
Sometimes while cleaning my pallet the pallet scrapings find themselves on a canvas instead of being wiped onto a cloth and that is how this painting began. The St Lawrence River is the home of the 1,000 islands and some of these are small isolated islands consisting of nothing more than limestone rocks and a few trees. I guess when I scraped this fig newton of imagination (figment of imagination) together I was feeling very peaceful and was inspired by the solitude of some of these islands and the warm colours I had been using on the prior painting. Many of my paintings are a result of my memories and how I feel about different places or situations. If I want to capture certain details of a particular scene I prefer to do a quick pencil sketch that I can refer to rather than a photograph.
