Refuge
Oil on canvas, 24 X 48”, 2020. Private collection
This painting used to look so different. I wasn’t happy with the first version, so I painted over it with gesso and started again. I’m so happy with the way it turned out, and happier that it now belongs to my husband. My son took the photo I used for this work while he was camping with Dion a few weeks ago. I loved the moodiness in the clouds and the reflections in the water. It’s amazing how we connect to nature’s turbulence; we echo so many of her moods.
