Description
I wanted to let my hair down and wear out some brushes. I really wore some brushes out. This painting is based on #2328 "Granite Pines and an Autumn Storm".
This particular expanse of granite caught my eye because of the numerous glacial chatter marks. A chatter mark is a wedge shaped scar left by the chipping of a bedrock surface by rock fragments carried in the base of a glacier. The marks tend to be crescent-shaped and oriented at right angles to the direction of ice movement. The ancient rock was pitted and scarred all over its surface by the work of the glaciers that left the area 11,000 years ago.
The approaching autumn storm was another important story in this painting. The Langmuir streets of cirrus were piling up behind the deformation zone of the warm conveyor belt. The layers of cloud were getting lower and thicker further to the west. Gravity waves were also embedded in the cirrus revealing the direction of the wind in the stable layer of the atmosphere - just like waves on Gerogian Bay.
The vegetation was shaped by the prevailing onshore westerlies. The large pine was twisted with the wind. All vegetation displayed a definite lean with the winds.
I took some artistic liberties to enhance the motion and the flows in this dynamic environment. The oils might make you dizzy and that was my deliberate intention. Sorry.

Very clever Sunny. Your play on the word dizzy to make it dazzle was brilliant and made me smile! Thank you so much for your ongoing support. COVID may be an extreme adversity but out of it has also come an opportunity. We should not let the chance pass us by... bot to create and to make the world a greener place, sustainable for all creatures.
