Paint Party Friday - Gros Morne ACEO

Welcome to Kristin and Eva's Paint Party Friday!

I saw a photo advertised in the newspaper and it caught my attention:




This is Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland and Labrador.  It is a glacier-carved fjord 2000 feet deep, which started to form about 485 million years ago. I don't think I'd be standing anywhere near the edge like that!

Please stop by the other participants to see what they did today!

This is lovely - the colours are in keeping so well with how crisp and clear I imagine a Fjord is!

Christine,thanks for visiting and for your kind words ... your work on the fjord is very accomplished, who does not know the landscape can make a clear idea of ​​what it is. Saludos

Love that it is ACEO art. You captures height and depth well for such a small format. Happy PPF!

Lilac & Lavender said...

Thanks for including a description of what your painting is based on ~ you really did a great job capturing it's massive presence and depth! I agree, I wouldn't be standing near the edge either :)

Janet said...

I like your painting. It looks like an interesting place to visit but I don't like heights.

Carol said...

Very nice! Don't think I'd be standing that close either :)

Annabelle said...

Beautiful rendering of a place I truly love and would someday luv to visit and most probably never return. Apparently it's beauty and serenity takes one's breath away for a moment and then they are totally mesmerized!
My husband, kids and I have talked about moving to Newfoundland, no one really likes the hot weather here but unfortunately before we really got a chance to make that decision he got a job out west.
Thanks for sharing a rekindling a dream.
