Near Lake St Clair
Whenever I encounter an interesting bend in a creek or river, I instantly start planning and visualising a way to paint it. It’s not that I want to change the scene, but really I strive to enhance it through finding an unusual angle, a point of view, that might create a totally novel scene – just through seeing it via the lens of an altered paradigm.
