The summer solstice; it is the anticipation of the warmth of the earth, the beauty of a flowering world. It is a festival of brilliant light and long days.

Midsummer
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.

Dry Rain Revisited
It has other names – a dry storm, a virga, a shaft of dark clouds looking as if rain is expected.

It all evaporates before hitting the ground -- not quite a mirage.

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".

Coastal Dance
It is a fine dance among the elements; it is a play on light and wind.

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."

The Swiftly Changing Shore
All can transition, in one movement, to a new epoch, the "before" and the "after".

Timing is everything.

Headland
Sandstone soft. Striking in colour.
Wind, in effects.
Brilliant light of summer.

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

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.
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.
