-NEW PRICE- Canoes in the early morning mist at the cottage. The fog is lifting, and soon it will be time for the summer adventure to begin anew. Created for those who love and have wonderful memories of days on the water, paddling a canoe, or who dream of cottage life, and long to escape (had enough winter, anyone?) to escape to a lake, and who appreciate quiet, still moments, (solitude without loneliness). This painting is not about the hot, noisy, splashy days by the water, although that could still be in the works as the mist clears. This pastel, calm scene of canoes, represents the still, solitary moments at the water’s edge. The quiet of early morning, before the others are awake. The mist or fog not yet cleared, and the world dreamy and undemanding. Time to contentedly reflect and contemplate, the spirit replenished. FYI: This painting is part of my "Lake Dreams" Series. Lake dreams can be just that - daydreaming or memory of days at the cottage. But there is also meaning to a dream about a canoe. A canoe represents serenity, simplicity, and independence. And an image of 6 canoes? Normally in art, odd numbers of items make for more interesting composition. Artistically, this still applies to my work, as the overlapping canoes read as one shape. Squint and you’ll see what I mean. In an actual dream, “six” stands for co-operation, balance, tranquility, perfection, warmth, union, marriage, family and love. Mental, emotional and spiritual states are in harmony. Isn't that what a canoe adventure, or time at the cottage is all about? And the fog or mist? Positive changes are afoot if the fog clears in the dream. In this painting, "Canoes in the Mist", the fog/mist is lifting. The promise of clear day, with time spent on the water, lies ahead. This painting is unframed, but edges are painted, and it is wired, ready to hang. The painting has a unique work completion number as well as a Certificate of Authenticity.
