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! I saw a photo advertised in the newspaper and it caught my attention:
Please stop by the other participants to see what they did today!
Looks like an interesting place. You captured the depth of it so well.
ReplyDeleteThis 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
ReplyDeleteGreat looking piece. I don't like heights so I wouldn't be too close to the edge either! Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my Sunflowers, Happy PPf!
ReplyDeleteNewfoundland must be a beautiful place to sketch and paint. I'd love to see this in person.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty - those photos always make me want to go and visit it.
ReplyDeletethats a lovely aceo, such a calm place,
ReplyDeleteLove that it is ACEO art. You captures height and depth well for such a small format. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteThanks 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 :)
ReplyDeleteI like your painting. It looks like an interesting place to visit but I don't like heights.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Don't think I'd be standing that close either :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful 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!
ReplyDeleteMy 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.
Oh beautiful! I need to get out that way!
ReplyDeleteSuch beauty in nature, and I think you are right..those two are standing much too close to the edge, lol! Kathryn
ReplyDeleteCute artwork and loving the colors you used. Well Done!
