Paddle Board Series #4

Paddle Board Series #4

This is only the fourth sculpture in my new Paddle Board Series. You will notice the edition number and my signature engraved on the back of the glass paddle board. This Paddleboard Series started in February of 2022 and this piece was created in November 2024. Even when I create more in the future, yours will always be the fourth paddle board that I’ve created in existence. Its value will only increase with the passage of time. The base I have used for this sculpture is a wonderful piece of Brazilian Amethyst, and I have reflected the colour in the violet glass for the paddle board and tree. I think the stripe on the board is quite eye catching, and this is the very first paddle board sculpture that I have added a loon to. It is attached to the root of the tree and appears to be drifting by the island on calm waters. I hope that it reminds you of paddling on your favourite lake or river whenever you view it. The piece, with its two-toned blue paddle board, really “comes to life” when placed by a window, but you probably already have a location in mind for it.

  • Courage

    Courage

    A man weaves tales of this land through poetry and song. Senses are awakened by images of past glory, as well as those of immeasurable pain. Challenges are whispered, to all who will listen, from frail limbs and foreboding eyes. Chanie Wenjack’s secret path jolts us into uncomfortable realizations of historical disconnects, and untold misery on the tip of a Raven’s wing. Pearls of wisdom, spoken by a sister, seek a different world through truth and reconciliation. We are all connected to someone, as Gord is to Chanie. Follow the examples of those who came before us, and seek the strength to facilitate change. Let us dance for healing under the moonlight on ashes of love. All is possible with the promise and power of courage.

  • Isolation

    Isolation

    Resist the temptation and directives to place nation and self before others. Search out the glowing light in others, and lift it up for all to see.  The land takes its rest from sunbaked skies, and blankets itself in quilts of white and crystal shimmer.  Be open to others and embrace the changes they also bring to our lives. We are of one family on this planet, and will only dance with the joy of acceptance when we resist the move towards isolation.

  • Sunset Breezes

    Sunset Breezes

    The sky is painted with crimson brush strokes, as the winds of haste fade to calm. Take pause from tasks that hinder your soul, and reflect on your growth and achievements. Know you have made a difference in the world in quiet and subtle ways. In ways that are hidden in the warm mist far from turmoil of the surface waves. Be still and absorb the rejuvenating spirit of sunset breezes.

    The Painter

    Brush strokes record this primal land in ways unseen before. Colour and textures are borrowed from the landscapes with imaginative flare, as thoughts of profit are replaced by the appreciation of nature’s priceless gifts. Seek the patience and understanding of names such as Thomson, Jackson, and Harris, as you pass through these lands. Their memories live forever in brief moments bathed in sunlit splendour and cloud shrouded mystery. Take time to pause, reflect, and admire this gift presented to all of us by the painter.
