Description
The rocky shores of the Parry Sound Archipelago would be tough on a canoe. There are a few sandy beaches but not many. The rugged granite still display the cauldron days when it was molten rock. The pines continue to be shaped by nature. The westerly winds blowing off Georgian Bay continue to try to blow them over and sometimes they succeed. Even the swirls in the granite look like they were shaped by the wind. I would paint this same location in #2318 "Parry Sound Archipelago Mares Tails". This shoreline displays the windswept beauty of a natural landscape. My goal was to capture the natural and rugged beauty of a place that has not changed much since the last ice sheet melted away 11 thousand years ago. The brush strokes are broad and unpolished like I was standing on the choppy water painting the scene.
Samuel de Champlain was the first European to explore and map the area in 1615 and 1616. In contrast Champlain called it "La Mer douce"which means the calm sea but he was certainly referring to the freshwater and not the wave action.
Those arcs of cirrus in the sunset sky foretold of an autumn storm approaching. The sky does not keep any secrets if you take time to look.
