Flooded by tides in an eternal ebb and flow, the coastal wetlands are the harbinger of health – the unseen activity of marine life.

The Saltwater Marsh
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.

Drawing in the Month of January
Drawing is an exercise in imagination -- allowing the mind to wander, to become aware, to take note of the road signs and keep going.
Ink 21-January-2022 (8 x 5.5)
Sometimes the direction along the road call for correction before continuing and once the route has been re-plotted you are free to wander again.

How do you know you are there?

Sometimes you end up at the finish line,

sometimes you end up in a labyrinth.

The Approaching Storm
We prepare and we wait -- the storm is predicted, the deluge anticipated, the fields flooding and the rivers overflowing.

Atmospheric Illusion
Based on something not true, the illusion of land, and sea, and sky might be wrongly interpreted by a first glance.
It is in appearance only that the impression of colours, forms and light are seen as reality.

Drawing Outside the Box
The title reminds us of a metaphor used unceasingly since the 1970s and 1980s by management consultants; used as a metaphor for novel or creative thinking.
L.Mould, (mixed-media, ink on paper 9" x 7") 23 August 2021
Drawing outside the box is just creative.
