Grand Coast

"The inspiration for this painting happened while paddling a stretch of Georgian Bay a couple of years back. After picking our way through the many ridges of submerged rock, I looked up to see this island, whose face would later see the setting sun. I returned to climb upon a nearby island that allowed me just enough elevation to get above the nearby grasses. With the sun directly to my back, I enjoyed the lengthening shadows, as they stretched out over the foreground. The subtle magnificence of the scene, and the sheer breadth of it caused this to be one of my largest paintings, and hopefully conveys the feeling of being there and the peace that I enjoyed."- Cory
