Whew! Just got back from a whirlwind trip to close up the summer house and say good-bye to my wood assemblages until May. Living on the edge of the Atlantic this time of year is cool and noisy. The sound of the sea's movement gets louder and more ominous. Winter there is not for the faint of heart. All those things help me pack it in sometime around late October or mid November.
And here I am, officially a townie again.
It's been a busy couple of days getting ready for a group Christmas show at the Leyton Gallery. The series of work in the show is called Full Moon, Duntara. Living in this magical place in the summer months puts me in tune with landscape and nature. I rarely paint landscape, but it has been creeping into my work in different ways over the last several years.
All five pieces in this series to date are mixed media encaustic. They are small snippets of reflection about one of my favourite time-when a full moon rises over the hill across from our summer house. The whole harbour lights as the moonlight plays across the hills, water and grass. It's pretty spectacular.
