I have dug out this painting and I am planning on painting another layer. I havent showed this piece in Canada before but always felt that it was stronger than the pieces that it was shown with at the time. It was really a piece to the puzzle that I am sorting out with my current work. The application of the paint and the beginning layers of colour are very much like my current technique of application. So I am posting this work as a before and after kind of experiment. Should be interesting.

Hi Paul. This piece is pretty intriguing. The image is a little small for me to see what it is exactly about. My initial reaction was that this looked like one of the small Newfoundland communities I visited over 20 years ago. Youth looking forward. Churchyard and cemetery overlooking water. I know it probably is about elsewhere but it evoked strong memories in me of passing time and places that were special. Thanks.

You are a story teller.
I am drawn in to walk the path.
You have an excellent understanding of colour.
This is one of my favorites, maybe it is the water/the landscape,the composition. Maybe this story is closer to you...
