#2554 "Franklin Rocky Pines"

#2554 "Franklin Rocky Pines" 16"x20"

This interesting piece of granite is on the eastern shore of Franklin Island not too from the location of painting #2398 "Searching for Franklin". 

The rock was photographed by my friend Cam at 1:30 pm on Sunday September 19th, 2021 looking northwest from very near N45.392372 W80.318405. Before COVID I had accompanied Cam on a similar SeaDoo Tour that he calls "Cam's Capture the Flags Seadoo Cruise". Cam was referring to the flagged pine trees that I love to paint. I had been in front of that rock on Franklin Island in September 2019. 

The rocky mounds tell of the fiery history of the Parry Sound Archipelago. I really enjoy the way that the weather shapes the landscape of the area and I try to surround myself with the nature of the Parry Sound Archipelago in these oily records. Broad strokes and bold colours were what I used to interpret this beautiful portion of Canada. It was a gorgeous autumn day. 

This is another Ro-Lak-Tree (a name I made up) Painting. I am repeating the Group of Seven Canadian Identity adventure of painting Canadian rocks, lakes and trees during COVID 2021.
