Description
Every painting needs a rhyme and a rhythm. I like how those words go together as well. The words use the same letters but mean very different things. Language can be interesting and stimulating. In any event there are at least 4 thousand rocks above the surface of the waters of the Parry Sound Archipelago according to Staff Commander John G. Boulton of the Royal Navy who surveyed the area in 1891. The spacing of these pieces of granite may look irregular but from a distance there must be a pattern. The same phenomena happens in the atmosphere. There is a wavelength in every fluid whether it be the weather, the atmosphere or molten rock. The winds certainly erode the rocks and weathers the trees but the regular wave patterns in these rocky swirls are cast in stone - so to speak.
In addition, the patterns in the rock reminded me of my late artist friend Ed Bartram. Ed lived in King City near where we lived in Schomberg and later at Watershed Farm on the 12th Conccesion of King Township. This painting is my small remembrance of an artist who shared in the joy of the Georgian Bay rocks and the archipelago. The rocky swirls gave the painting both a rhyme and a rhythm. Ed gave me an autographed copy of his book, Rockscapes. I gave Ed a copy of my Weather of Ontario. We are all in this together.

Thanks Beth... every panel gives me a chance to try to learn something. The painting surface has a lot of influence on this:>))

Magnificent abstract Georgian Bay landscape painting, Phil! Wonderful style of consistent paint strokes to create uniformity and natural flow of the elements where only the color defines the land and water. Congratulations on your ONTARIO CANADA feature! L/F
Phil Chadwick replied:
Thank you so very much Hanne. You are a keen observer and have picked up on some elements that I strive for. I am really inspired by the more natural nature that surrounds us. There are not enough hours in the day to do it justice.

Phil Chadwick replied:
Sorry for the delay in responding Maria. We live in the sticks and our satellite internet, slow to start with, is barely crawling with COVID-19. Early morning is my chance to get on-line. In addition my wife thought it would be a good idea during isolation to paint the entire home and do a spring cleaning at the same time. We have not left the property in weeks. What an honour to have my art featured. That is very kind of you. Thank you so very much!
