Image Feature “And Now I Rest”
“And Now I Rest” - Printed on Canvas
When:The Summer of 2021 I hopped in a car just a little too late, to get to where I was intending on getting. My buddy Norm, was at the helm as we launched into action, making haste for the Fundy National Park. Sunset over Point Wolfe was the goal.
A little while later .. “we’re not going to make it….” - “hey look at that house!” , “pull over a minute, I’ve wanted to shoot this in forever, look at those clouds”
The Story And that is the humble beginnings of how this beautiful piece started, when I got home to process it, That’s when I fell in love with it. The Story, the old house falling into to submission of time, I sat and wondered what stories it told. Who were the people who once walked the fields, were there young kids making mud pies there once, this old house, protected them, sheltered them. Much like Casita from ‘Encanto’ my imagination ran wild. Yet here it was, fading into it’s golden years, content in the summer sun.
The Product: The Suggested medium of this piece is Canvas, it blends to the feel of age and texture to the wood. The original is still available at a 43-inch wind Canvas. It is available by contacting me here.
