This mini painting was inspired by a trip I took to the Ovens in Nova Scotia. The rough, rocky cliffs overlooking the magnitude and power of the Atlantic Ocean's waves is a scene to behold. Dancing pine trees add a dream-like quality to that already enchanting and haunting place. And it is these exact trees and their movement that I wanted to depict in my painting. The warm tones of the rocks are complemented by a sun-setting, rich, golden sky. The curves of the brushstrokes in the background embrace those of the dancing trees, sealing the whole ensemble together and marrying each subject harmoniously together.
