The Fallen

This piece combines two drastically diverse elements. Those being the wonders of nature, and that of Human tragedy. Like all Canadians, I was shocked and Saddened by the senseless killing of four young RCMP officers in Mayerthorpe, Alberta in March 3rd of 2005. The spectacle of the red, swirling leaves that greeted Me while driving through Algonquin Parkin early October, reminded me of a whimsical musical ride by a multitude of unseen Mounties. If you look closely, you will see four slashes of red serge colour in my piece which proudly represents The Fallen.  Anthony Gordon, Lionide Johnston, Brock Myrol, and Peter Schiemann’s sacrifice will never be Forgotten.
