Painting Description

I ended up visiting this piece of bushland in Kitchener just north-east of the Grand River adjacent to the Highway #8 bridge. I was asked to join a group who wanted to save this lovely piece of land from housing development as a nature reserve. I believe that since that time it has been decided that development was unsuitable for ecological reasons.

This painting is on a rough ground or surface to break the colour patches and allow for a layer of underpainting to flicker to the surface in between the gaps in the surface layer in an almost tapestry-like way.

This original painting was part of a donation by the artist in 2015 to Lisaard & Innesfree Hospice. To see the paintings donated: LIHDONATION
