“A couple of studies from Lake Superior. The first was turned into a much larger piece called "Alona” which is in this gallery (click here). The second is from Porphyry Island, a wonderful remote island east of Sleeping Giant Provincial Park. The dark purple volcanic sand and rock makes you feel like you've stepped back in time to the beginning of creation. I hope to make time some day to create a full sized painting based on this scene with its shifting mist adding to the mysterious feel of this location. Just never enough time to paint.
