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.

    Jack Pine Visions

    More than one hundred years have passed over Achray landscapes. A guardian of the land, entrusted to protect the pillars of the forest, ventured along Grand Lake shores in search of inspiration. Across the waters of Carcajou Bay, violet horizons roll in serpentine rhythms, while foreground branches bow in sunbathed splendor. He ensured his dependent lived forever in his oil sketch, as rocky shores, pristine waters, and windswept Pines were the culmination of Thomson’s Jack Pine visions.

    Lake of Two Rivers

    An Algonquin lake sparkles like a rare gem set between two serpentine diamond strings named Madawaska.  In view of the red trimmed cabins of Killarney Lodge, an ancient outcropping emerges and gives life to those who would cling to its rocky shores. Indigenous pathways reflect in mirror soaked calmness, as respect is given to the land that breathed life into their ancestors.  Winter ice brings guests unlikely to traverse open water, and provides host for a moment of isolation and reflection.  The warm waters of summer wafts quiet voices and gentle paddle strokes across glistening wakes, as distant loons call with lilting echoes. Approaching clouds hint at changing weather as all seek shelter in her bays.  This enchanting landscape reveals its secrets in blazing colour, frozen solitude, and misty shrouds.  This is the life blood of a gift we call Lake of Two Rivers.
