Coming up

After six months, the Change Islands peculiar red and green shale is finished!  It is the largest one of the series so far, 30 x 50 inches.  I have posted some pictures of a 7 inch square section to show the level of detail that has gone into the painting.

Coming up, I will be starting the Brigus lighthouse cross-section piece, which is bigger, 36 x 60.  This summer I will be travelling to Dantzic Cove on the Burin Peninsula to look at a cross-section along the shore which has limestone described by Howley in his 1870 fieldbook as “caught up and twisted curiously amongst the overlying rocks” and also Bellevue Beach on the isthumus of Avalon where there are “yellow and green rocks all jumbled together” (1869).

Can't wait to find both of these structures!
