New Painting: November Showers

It’s easy to figure out what inspired this painting, simply by its name.  Being back in Newfoundland, it’s inevitable that I would add to my collection of weather-inspired pieces.

This is “November Showers“- 12″ x 16”, acrylics & glass beads on gallery-wrapped canvas (no framing required) – SOLD. It’s one of the pieces that I’m bringing with me today to the Body, Mind & Spirit retreat in Salmonier, where there are heavy wind warnings for today (up to 130 km/hr) as well as rain (not that unusual here).  Luckily, the sun will come out on Saturday afternoon and hopefully stay with us until the end of the retreat on Sunday.  You never know in Newfoundland…

Did you see a smirky face in the painting?  When I look at it, I see the spirit of a being that isn’t phased by the weather – its joy is something that is carried inside no matter the environment.

What I really like is how the light catches on the glass beads and transforms the piece as you change your position.  That’s hard to show in a photo…
