#2463 "Hickory Point"

This is the point of the Singleton Forest that points southwestward that all of the creatures follow to cross the ice of the lake. The marble point of land stretches far out into the bay from the Provincially Significant Wetland. This point is a favourite path for the bobcats and the coyotes. 

The three trees in this painting are the stars of the point on this bright winter day. Shagbark hickories are one of my favourite trees that provide a plentiful supply of nuts to the creatures. The Spruce on Hickory Point provides shelter. The goal was to chronicle more of the simple beauty and nature of the Singleton Sanctuary. 

Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862) had it right in my opinion. Art and science inspired by nature is my personal sanctuary. Although most do not follow the physics of Einstein (1879–1955), Albert's science, even his special and general relativity papers, make a lot more sense than the actions of politicians. At a recent congress, the Conservative Party of Canada voted by 54 percent to 46 to reject adding that "climate change is real" and is "willing to act" to the policy platform. "Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth." ― Henry David Thoreau, Walden. Science and nature provides that truth when all else fails. The laws of science and nature trump all else.
