Climb the Mountain

My Rock - The Great Canadian Shield

Climb the Mountain
Pukaskwa National Park,
Northern Ontario,
The Great Canadian Shield

oil on canvas, Work in progress


Waves roll across immense Lake Superior and crash against a remote granite shore. Tracts of windswept spruce and pine reach beyond the horizon from towering cliffs and along secluded sandy beaches. Black bears feast on blueberry bushes; haunting loon song scores sunsets; moose stilt-walk across wetlands. And the culture of the Anishinaabe First Nations connects Pukaskwa National Park's wilderness to the powerful richness of an ancient human story.
