PEI Escape

PEI Escape
8" x 10" - acrylic on heavy wc paper - $45
PEI is Prince Edward Island, home of Anne of Green Gables, red soil, friendly people, beautiful beaches, lobster dinners, and so much more. It is a very special place and if you have not been, put it on your list! Several years ago I did a road trip with our daughter and snapped photos, of course. This small painting is based on one of those. The clouds were so fabulous that day that they need to be painted again and again. Cheers!

This is for sale - contact me for price if interested.

This painting is based on a photo I took during a trip to Prince Edward Island a few years ago with my daughter. I took photos as we drove (well I did stop the car) through the countryside of Canada's smallest province on the east coast, the fictitious  home of Anne of Green Gables, hoping that some might eventually inspire a painting or two. 

Though the actual colours of the island landscape in August are, in fact, quite vivid,  they did not come across in my photo. But then that is not really my landscape style anyway, preferring to interpret colour and therefore mood. My process began with reducing the photo to a greyscale version and I developed the colour scheme as I painted.
