Little Swale

Posted on October 27, 2015 at 11:34 pm by / 0

Dear Reader,
In my neighbourhood park lives a little swale. This swale was created by humans to manage the overflow of rainwater after alterations to our local creek. As city infrastructure progresses, we humans anticipate a future with more humans. My swale (yes it’s mine since swale and I have entered into a relationship) continues to trickle and swell with rain, feed the trees, bathe dogs, give mountain bikers a slippery ride, allow children to skim stones on her sometimes calm surface, and provide a place for contemplation.

A Sentient World

Dear Reader,
In this little painting of a protea I continue my experiments with a limited pallet. The colours I’ve used are ultramarine blue, pthalo green, cadmium yellow medium, cadmium red medium, and white. I’ve tried to simplify and mute the background by using blues, blue-green and muted purples to suggest spatial depth within the picture plane, while bringing attention to the bright red petals with white, feathery edges. Those feathery edges are such a contrast to the stiffer, almost leathery texture of protea petals and leaves. It’su almost like the petals have eyelashes while the protea looks out into the world. I wonder what that protea sees?
