LAST OF THE ICE
Havenside Louisbourg
"Last of the Ice" is a vibrant, abstract depiction of a serene seascape. Measuring 24 x 36 inches, this canvas print of a digital painting captivates with its lively use of color and form. The artwork utilizes bold, fragmented shapes and a stained-glass effect, with each segment boasting a distinct hue that contributes to the overall puzzle-like composition. Scattered across the canvas, light-colored, cubic houses contrast beautifully with the richer, earthy tones of the lush hills and diverse foliage surrounding them.
A notable feature of the painting is the reflective quality in the water depicted at the lower part of the scene. This mirroring effect enhances the composition's depth and complexity, drawing viewers further into the tranquil scenery. Above, the softer, muted colors of the sky provide a harmonious balance to the vibrant, intricate details below.
The inspiration behind this piece comes from the last remnants of winter ice in Louisbourg harbour, translated into an abstract vision evoking both natural beauty and a sense of fleeting time. The unique process of creation involved breaking up the subject matter into fragmented, ice-like shapes, making this artwork truly distinctive.
