The Road To Moore's

 


Road To Moore's

Moore's Aquatic Nursery has been serving water gardeners in our area since 1912. 
The tree lined lane feels like a forest drive, shady and cool in the summer, colourful and peaceful in autumn.

Stand

 


Row On Row the crops grow. Fields dip and roll.
 Intermittent stream beds break the expanse,
 stretch into the distance and offer passage for the wildlings, to distant green oasis.

Junction

 


Junction
Junction: A place of meeting or joining. Once, all was forest, then came the colonizers, who took down much of the forest. Pockets remain, and as it is the will of nature to grow and also to colonize, the junctions where field and forest meet are the site of a subtle battle.

There was a time, when life moved at a slower pace, in rhythm with the seasons. Posts were for stringing fence lines, not online. Was life better then? or is that just a romantic notion.  I'll leave it to you to decide.

Washed Up

 

 Glazed Acrylic, on cradled wooden panel, ready to hang
  8x10, 
Sold at Art Emporium Port Stanley: contact

This driftwood, greeted us each year on Hunting Island beach, until Hurricanes Mathew, and  Rita devastated the island, washing away much of the beach and most of the 'boneyard' trees. 
I'm very glad that I sketched and subsequently painted it, before it disappeared.

Going Around The Bend

 


 Fresh off the easel, Going Around The Bend. 12x12 glazed acrylic.

Country Roads weave their way through the fields and bush. Game trails to buggy tracks to vehicle traffic the surface changes, but the wandering ways remain, permanently connecting us to the past.
