Northern Retreat

[Reddyman]

I love to venture north to our family cottage and take time to explore the beautiful surrounding area lakes and structure. I think it is a great way to escape the daily work stresses of the week and kick back and just take it all in.
These paintings represent a piece of the Canadian North and my hope is through colour, depth and structure it gives you a chance to breath deep and enjoy what I refer to as Mother Nature's handiwork.

Thanks as always for looking and comments.

John

Hey John, real fine works, convincing light. It can be tricky to get the curved lake shoreline without having the horizon seem skewed.

These are both absolutely gorgeous! I can practically smell the pines and hear the movement of the water. Stellar work!

Thanks so much P.Barrrie for the wonderful comments. Yes shoreline perspective can be very tricky to accomplish in a convincing form for sure, much appreciated.

Hi Donna
So good to hear from you and thanks so much for the wonderful comments. I love sitting in the North just listening to the wind in the trees and the water trickling against the rocks taking it all in.
Hope you are doing well.

Idyllic scenes, both. Wonderful coloring. In the clear air of the north, very believable. Well done.

Thanks NTL, very much appreciated. It makes it easier when you are surrounded by beautiful scenery in our North country.
I get photos any chance I get and some of it is etched in memory for sure. Thanks again.
