This piece was inspired by the ground beneath a large boulder I saw while hiking the escarpment. It’s one of my favourite places on the trail to stop and take a breath.
My eyes love to study this giant boulder, its form and how it balances on the uneven terrain. It sits in a clearing and when the sun is shining - all sorts of unseen planes and forms come alive.
As I started painting this composition my intentions were to stay true to its original earthly colour palette - but as the painting progressed - a more hopeful landscape began to emerge. The quiet place under the rock was revealing itself more as a landscape of renewed vision. The deep crevasse, open to receive the warmth of the glowing embers far into the horizon.
