HIGHLAND CREEK
Monochrome Soft Pastel, 22 x 30 inches
This pastel painting is of a creek that I have visited many times. This particular meandering part of the creek is one of my favourite sections as it offers many creative possibilities with the change in seasons and water levels. The creek is at the bottom of a ravine and traverses areas of uneven terrain. During periods of increased water flow, the force of the water can erode and wash away bends in the shoreline…trees and all. Learn more about this artwork.

“I studied the art of the ancients and that of the moderns using no systematized approach and without preconceived ideas. I no more wanted to imitate the former than I sought to copy the latter… I wanted to draw from the entire body of tradition a rational, independent sense of my own individuality. To know in order to create—this was my purpose.” – Gustave Courbet (1819-1877)
