Description
The snow was too heavy and the wind too strong for me to paint outside. I did the next best thing and set up my easel looking out the studio window. I have painted this scene before like in #1501 "Winter Forest" but each canvas brings a slightly different interpretation and a chance for success. A glimmer of hope to make this my best canvas is all I can ask for.
This is the view toward the southeast and the adjacent marble ridge. Marble ridges of rock are dominant in the Singleton Lake portion of the Frontenac Arch Biosphere. The ridges all run from southwest to the northeast where they submerge and transform the landscape into farmable soils. This granite and gneiss and schist bedrock dates to nearly a billion years ago, when shifting plates of the earth's crust collided and pushed an enormous range of mountains into existence - mountains that ran southwest to northeast. Over hundreds of millions of years, the softer rock of the mountain peaks weathered away, leaving only the "roots" of the mountains; the durable rock that cradles Singleton Lake today. The northeast-southwest trend of the ridges and valleys belies the orientation of the long-eroded mountains. The shape of the lake is molded by the pattern of the slopes and valleys of the old mountain roots. While glaciers gouged and rounded and deepened and broadened the old valleys over millennia, the topography today is not unlike that of hundreds of millions of years ago.
