ABOUT THE ARTWORK
When you first look at the painting, you’re greeted with a plain scenic landscape with a some hills and boat, but I like to think of it as something more. The main elements inspired by my conversation are hidden beneath the paint, which cannot be identified at first glance. It has a picnic basket and blanket to signify my partner enjoyed picnics. She also is originally from Newfoundland, so I wanted to illustrate the wonders of living in such a province in a simple and endearing manner.
