Grand Reflections in Paris
Occasionally a call for art will align with my own art practice. In this instance the Homer Watson House & Gallery in my hometown of Kitchener was hosting an exhibition of work featuring the many views of the Grand River. This river featured prominently in my youth and I was excited to have this opportunity.
I created sketches at 3 locations along the Grand, in Paris and Caledonia. The scene I selected from my outdoor studies and sketches was the view from the dam in Paris. This was early September and the colour was just beginning to glow on the trees. I echoed the colour of the leaves in the bridge making it part of nature.
This stunning early autumn palette will light up any room. A treasured piece for the fisherman, canoeist and nature lover.
The on-site sketches are also available in the Drawings and Sketches section of this site.
This original painting is 16” high and 40” wide with a depth of 1.5”. The artwork wraps halfway around the edges which are then finished in black. This provides a clean, finished, high-end look and makes the work ready to display without the need for a frame.
