As an artist who paints, changing things up keeps it interesting for me. Once in a while it has been important and necessary for me to move outside my comfort zone. So for what ever the reason years ago I made the painting above while considering the relationship between Canada and our neighbour The United States of America to the south of the 49th parallel.
Somehow in light of the current goings on the painting has just as much relevance today as it did then. But cleaning out files and finding a photo of myself painting at Amythest Cove allows a hopeful moment looking forward to the next chance to get outdoors on site and paint. I can hardly wait.
