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.

    Celebration

    St. Pauls College introduced two young students to each other, as well as the opportunity to make other life long friends. Love blossomed between the two, and led to a stiffling hot August day in seventy-seven, where exchanged vows changed their lives forever. Gibson Lake taught them the joys of paddling, and Killarney proved that the quickest way to escape a bear was to head out on the water.

    Reflections of Thomson

    A young Tom Thomson living in urban surrounds, sought solitude in the majestic bluffs of Scarborough. Venturing further east he explored the calm of a lake named Scugog, where inspiration lead to the creation of Near Lake Scugog and Evening Lake Scugog. His gaze is distant, while his four legged companion’s is inward. Was this a sign of his bold interpretations of future northern landscapes? Look inward at your accomplishments and interactions that have proven to be a positive influence on the world, but also look ahead with determination and creativity for a future rich with a canvas filled with vibrant brush strokes. Could these be the lessons of Reflections of Thomson?

    Celestial Light

    We raised our eyes, three years past, to ribbons of glorious light dancing on cobalt skies. Shimmering translucence scattering untold diamonds in reflections of yesterday. We shed tears for the indiscretions of men, but bathe in the goodness and comfort of those around us. Lift up your spirits in the presence of others, for the world is a wondrous place. Take time to bask in the glow of the celestial light.
