Slocan Pool Trail

March 2, 2015 by Eileen Delehanty Pearkes

Notebook page 9

 

It is hard to explain how and why certain small details of the landscape speak to me.  Sometimes it is colour. Others texture.  Others still a sort of curiosity about what something is, how it got there.  In this case, it was the sheer visual beauty of the colours of the bark, only vaguely represented here.  While the sketch is not precise, it locks in to memory my fascination and admiration.
