Description
I needed to paint more of the rocks hurled by the the ill tempered Georgian Bay God Kitchikewana. The Parry Sound Archipelago is full of rocky areas. It is not just flagged pines and large skies and weather.
I liked the way the water and the colours rippled in the shallows and the shadows. It is important not to think of the names of any of these subjects. Everything is composed of simple shapes and colours and one needs to be immersed in the moment to actually really see and interpret the reality. It is very easy to get lost in those rocks - just as easy as losing your way in a forest or in the sky when you are trying to capture a scene.
These particular boulders have indeed been chiseled by the forces of nature. Notwithstanding the tale of Kitchikewana, ice brought most of these erratics here. Ice has more recently split them into smaller junks. One does not fight against the elements or nature. I feel the best way forward is to work with nature and not try to subdue or control the fundamental forces and its creatures it in any way. Just my opinion of course in my attempt to stay in touch with my roots.

Yes Sunny. This subject was especially fun and the joy does come through in the brushwork. You really do ponder the painting and you understand the process. Thank you!
