Newfoundland Western Brook Pond

Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland, Canada

About

An experimental, colorful painting of a waterfall at Western Brook Pond in Newfoundland, Canada. This is perhaps the most impactful example of the artist’s dots-and-dashes style of mark-making. The waterfall is surrounded on either side by steep cliffs covered in gravity-defying green plantlife. The grass is rendered using “dots” of color and the cliff face in “dashes.” Each color is represented in the mosaic-like shadows because the artist’s eye knows that a simple gray rock really gets its gray color from dozens of non-gray colors like the deep purples, blues, and bright yellows that work in harmony. It is evident here the way the artist breaks down a subject into forms and colors he can translate onto the canvas.
