Description
The pines on Benz Island in the Parry Sound Archipelago were fully exposed to the elements. These particular trees are actually on a small chunk of rock southeast of the much larger Benz Island. This is another of those rock, lake and trees painting that are characterisitic of Canada. I abbreviate this genre of art as Ro-Lak-Tree which reminds me of the rock, paper and scissors game called Ro-sham-bo. The rocks, lakes and trees is a slight of hand game played with a brush loaded with oil paint. Everybody wins as long as nature is appreciated and protected. Ro-Lak-Tree (a name I made up) is a nature stewardship game that the Group of Seven invented while they were searching for the Canadian identity around the time of the 1918 Flu Pandemic. History does repeat itself. People have not really changed in the past hundred years which saw the inventions of the computer, the world-wide-web and space travel....
The 30,000 Islands of the Parry Sound Archipelago supports unique ecosystems. All kinds of creatures rely on these rocky havens away from the influences of most humans. Humans need to become better stewards of the world and nature. The Georgian Bay image is from 8 am July 30th, 2020 looking southeast.

Love the movement and definite contrasts...beautiful louds and sky...such a delicate sky against the turbulent foreground...the color of the water is just stunning and all the highlights there and on the rocks are fantastic...a lot of depth here and the green to olive to gold range is gorgeous! Bravo! l/f
