Island Park Morning
Island Park Morning, 10x10 I HAVE GOTTEN ahead of myself, and so early in the trip! We arrive in Channel Port-Aux-Basques Thursday on the ferry (more on this below, and on the blog), and are struck by how utterly foreign the landscape is. It looks like the Shetland Islands, or some place even more distant. As we drive out of Port-Aux-Basques. the landscape normalizes a little. Trees begin to appear, and the rocks recede a little, or are covered with grass and small hills. It is beautiful, but in a more known way. Early in the day, we pull into a lovely little provincial park and I make this painting. I am sure it will be one of my favorites of the trip. The sky is quiet, birds sing and fly, the morning air is crisp and the water clear and blue. After I finish this painting, THEN we head to Gros Morne, the subject of the yesterday's newsletter. *** Weather Watch IT IS COOL HERE in the mornings, in the upper 50s, and every morning has been cloudy
