Dry Rain

A dry storm or a streak of cloud is a weather phenomenon. There is a technical term for it. The painting is reminiscent of others I have done called "Shaft of Sunlight" (also in this blog) and two paintings done in 2002-03 called "Intervention" one a study for the other. As is so often the case these have more than the obvious meaning but sometimes it takes a few years to see what that is. Let me know if you would like to see the 2002-03 paintings called "Intervention".

Louise

The landscape features most prominently in the body of my work. It is a landscape of suggestion, rather than a faithful figurative rendering; it is a landscape of fiction and abstraction. Major influences on my work have been the Canadian landscape, the tropical forest of the Congo and the land of the Mediterranean/Middle East. Born in Exeter, Ontario,I studied at the University of Prince Edward Island, McGill University in Montreal and the Université du Québec à Trois Rivières. I always ask one question; when does the unconventional become so utterly conventional as to become uninteresting - dull in fact? I hope these are not dull whatever else they are. Let me know what you think.
