After spending a good part of a day chasing the sun around Willow River I had to be content with some photos I was able to shoot while the clouds co-operated. The leaves are starting to show fall colouring now and the area around Prince George is pretty stunning this time of year. I'll include a few below that may provide a foundation for some work.
The Creators design in nature is mind blowing. The green chloroplast plant cell takes energy from sunlight and turns carbon dioxide into oxygen in photosynthesis; the energy transfer makes sugars and carbohydrates that provide food for our bodies and, over time, fossil fuel for our Hondas. Then when the chloroplast cells die, the leaves turn from green into the blazing colours of autumn. A bit humbling when all I can do is occasionally arrange a few bits of paint to resemble a scene.
This week I'm working on finishing off a few local landscapes. My photography is pathetic (sorry) but the images will give you a bit of an idea. Check a few blog posts back and you'll notice how one of these paintings is evolving. My buddy Mike shoots the final images when the paintings are done and his skill makes them shine. You'll be able to see any of these at next months show at the Red Rooster Winery.
