Before



Before
The painting is loosely based on thumbnail sketches I did last Thursday, posted as “Before and After”. This is my watercolor version of “Before”. The place is imagined. I never walked this shore. But I have wondered while walking similar shores along Lake Huron, about what might have came before, when such shores were first discovered, before, and I guess during the time when the original wilderness forests were being lumbered out.
I painted this painting and another titled “After” imagining what this same shore might look like in the future, if another form of wilderness took over. I will post “After” after I’ve posted this.
