Divergence Painting

This oil painting began as a detail of a painting from the Wetland series. By focusing very closely on the interplay of colour and line, a pattern of branching began to develop. I intensified the diverging lines emanating from the bottom of the painting so that they implied searching and exploration. My intention is to represent the possible paths humanity might take and to create awareness of choices we need to make in order to protect our planet. My work is influenced by years of canoeing in the lakes and rivers of the Canadian Shield, and walking in green spaces close to home. I have explored many paths in my journeys, both edifying and disturbing. I want to share my deep respect and awe for the wonders of nature by presenting them in a way that allows contemplation of meaning. I use mainly palette knife and occasionally brush to apply layers of oil paint to the stretched canvas. This technique creates lively surfaces that suggest shifting light. Professional artist-grade quality oil paint is used, and the painting is stretched, wired, and ready to hang. It is signed by the artist on the back, giving details of title, size, materials, and place of creation (Ottawa, Canada). The edges are cleanly finished in white acrylic paint so that the work does not need to be framed, yet can be if so desired.
