Red Ribbon Rope, Horizons Original Painting 12x12

At The Red Ribbon Rope - Original Painting

'At The Red Ribbon Rope' is from the 'Horizons: The View from Port' collection, and is a one-of-a-kind artwork.

This piece depicts Erie Rest beach and the rope barriers that indicates the end of the public beach. I thought this red ribbon was intriguing with what it might represents. Someone tied it there as a reference for something, that something only known to themselves and the other person it was meant for. The idea of this makes me want to create a story...  

I tried to capture the feeling of a windy day at the lake in this painting. The wind acting upon the water, the grass, and the ribbon.

This original painting is a unique expression of the end of summer that can be enjoyed all year long in your home or cottage, or as a thoughtful gift to someone special.  

Horizons: The View From Port - I created this collection of paintings as an love letter to the lakeside beach village I live in. The feeling is that of post tourist season, with the beaches empty and returned to the seagulls and the locals for the last bit of summer. Although it is an expression of a specific place it also has the universal appeal that all lake towns have always had for folks.     

At the beach, life is different. Time doesn't move hour to hour but mood to moment. We live by the currents, plan by the tides, and follow the sun.
