Mooseland



 A few years ago in spring Karen sent a photo of a young moose that had wandered into her yard.  At the time silhouettes representing animals had become part of art making. A decision was made to make a series of paintings using her young moose photo.

Images bounce around the studio, bits and pieces fitting together over time and twelve paintings later the moose lands on the very beach. Funny how that  happens from an original sketch of the beach at Blomidon on the Minas Basin. The moose seemed in awe of the site as I was the first time I watched the huge tides of Fundy drain the bay and then refill.
