Lost Lake

 

.....remembering a long lost summer. These are the first 2 works based on memories of Emma Lake. There will likely be more in this short series of memory pieces, and more based on Emma Lake.

It will often happen that I want to put the least amount possible into a picture...just enough to hint at some sensation that I want to make reference to. Collage is one of the methods that's very useful for this. In this case I painted first, then collaged, then painted a bit more.

There is also a long standing attraction to black...mixed blacks made from colour. I remember a colour similar to this that I used years ago in a number of paintings made at the Emma Lake Workshop in northern Saskatchewan. Recently I've been thinking of those blacks quite often...who knows why.
