"Saugeen Shores"

This is the first demonstration piece for “Wind, Waves and Weather” 2007. There were twelve very nice and motivated artists and it was great to work with them.

The view from the north shore of the Saugeen toward the south shore, is always a motivational to start. I wanted to illustrate techniques to do the relatively smooth water of the river and to keep the texture the same or at least similar across the entire painting. I also wanted to show that water was not blue. Water, like snow and the sky, are full of colours and we just have to learn to slow down and really see them.

Note that the Ojibway term for confluence of the waters is "Saugeen".

I paint outside - nothing between my eyes and the inspiration. That special connectivity gets into the pigments and you quickly realize that we are all stewards of the land, privileged to appreciate its beauty during our lifetime but responsible for leaving the environment better off for the future and all inhabitants...
