Landscape

Plein Air and In Studio

Since my move to Western Bay I have a fascination with the effect of light on a landscape, particularly when the sky is dark and cloudy and the sun comes through in filtered beams or is low in the sky and its rays highlight the tops of vegetation or a higher outcrop, leaving the rest in shade. It’s as if the sun were a spotlight and the clouds are curtains, pulling bits of land in and out of the shade.

I still travel around the province of Newfoundland and Labrador by land and by sea and find so many beautiful landscapes that I have to capture on canvas or paper. I find joy in plein air painting, the act of sitting on the ground or on a rock with paints and brushes, opening my senses to the beauty in front of me whether it is a lonely shoreline on a cloudy day or a Fall marsh in the low light of the evening sun. I close my mind to the mindless chatter and open my heart to the magic of nature.
