Sculpted by Wind

 This painting was placed in The Dunes Gallery and Cafe at Brackley earlier this year. I received a beautiful note from the purchaser shortly afterwards. With his permission I will quote it here:

"My wife and I recently purchased your painting "Sculpted by Wind" for our private collection. I wasn't seeking a painting when we stopped into The Dunes, but I fell in love with the painting instantly. We're a U.S. Navy family who have spent many years on distant islands. "Sculpted by Wind" really captured the dance between sea and sky. I felt the same emotions as when we lived overseas and witnessed the majesty of the ocean and atmosphere untouched by humans. I'm very grateful to have stumbled across your artwork. It has a treasured place in our home."

This expresses perfectly all I had hoped to achieve with this painting.

Ambiguous Reality

 All that is real, or the appearance of real. All that is imaginary and the appearance of the imagination.

Something from nothing?

At the Point

 It starts as a bright summer day.

Look behind and the dark clouds are giving chase.

Glimmering of Light

On a cold, dark autumn evening, the light I saw was just a glimmering of the sun setting over the water between the clouds. The only warm colour to be seen that day, or any other day in that very long week.

The mist, the rain, the drizzle hovers in a brooding landscape. Perhaps it is a story about the year we are going through; the light represents hope and changing 'fear into calm'.

Convergence, the canvas

Convergence and perception with a touch of concentration; cold water sinking in its density.

2019 (canvas 22" x 28")

Ocean currents meet with visible air-flows - perhaps it is a false start.

It's all about horizons

The horizon line -- the one that separates the earth from the sky is not real. It is not a real line that is.

The Playful Dunes, a study, 2016 (15" x 11" paper)

We move towards it, and it retreats before our eyes. We capture it much the way we would capture the wind -- in the offing, always just about to happen.

Sailing to the Shores of Generosity: An Exhibit - opening Sunday 26 August 2-4 p.m.

An exhibit of mixed media works by Louise Mould will be held at the Robertson Library, University of Prince Edward Island, starting August 26th and continuing through September 21, 2018.

Sailing (7" x 5")

Louise has been working in this medium since 2000. These are small works on paper which are mostly abstracted designs with collage and ink. This exhibit brings together works composed on the theme of sailing. These convey reflections of the interaction of sailing on the sea often portraying the romance of the age of wind and sail.

Sailing: Two Moons (6"x4")

Louise Mould is a Canadian painter and her work can be seen in The Dunes Studio Gallery in Brackley Beach, Ellen’s Creek Gallery in Charlottetown, and at The Prince Edward Island Preserve Co. in New Glasgow, PEI. Her paintings are works of fiction and abstraction yet retain elements of recognition of place. She has had numerous solo shows and has exhibited in both juried and group shows. She is an alumni of the University of Prince Edward Island and of McGill University in Montreal, and also studied at the Université du Québec à Trois Rivières.
