This is a piece depicting the NB Trail in Middle Sackville, New Brunswick, from a photo I took in the summer of 2017. Unfinished, of course, because one of the goals was to work quickly. One of the things I like about this kind of landscape is that the clouds dominate, so issues of faithfulness… Read more »
