#2754 "Singleton Point Paradise After the Autumn Colours"
12x9 inches oils on canvas

The is a point of marble rock pointing into the 50-foot depths of Singleton Lake. I call that peninsula Point Paradise because of its natural beauty and solitude. It has been referred to by other names over the ages but times change.

The strong autumn winds had stripped most of the colourful leaves from the deciduous trees. Point Paradise is very exposed to the west wind so it is the first to show the colours of winter. A couple of trees were toppled over by those gales but I did not include those in the scene. They would provide valuable firewood in the coming winters. 

I wanted to paint something loose and hopefully strong. The rugged shoreline in front of the wood stove and listening to tunes was the answer during a winter storm. It was still very much winter outside so I enjoyed my time within Singleton Sanctuary Studio in front of the Pacific Energy wood stove.
