This painting was partly inspired by my bike trip out to the east part of Montreal Island where I encountered many interesting features of the St. Lawrence river shoreline including rocky beaches and rolling waves. The colours, that mix of maroon and blue, were also evident where the Prairie River met the St. Lawrence. I used some of those memories in this small abstract painting which was done in the Lemon Sunset style. That is a fictional surrealist world I created a while ago as a creative theme for abstract paintings. Not to mention it was a palette cleanser, it is almost time to fill the palette again which is always fun. Squeezing paint from the tubes is oddly satisfying.
