Canadian Landscapes Drawn or Painted

The topic of all paintings or drawings must be the land, not the horses or the tractor or the elevator etc., it is the land. You can use the elements of people, buildings, animals, etc. only as support of the greater statement, which is...you guessed it, CANADIAN LANDSCAPES PAINTED OR DRAWN!
The example I have chosen is my gouache painting titled, HOAR FROST. Hoar frost is a unique environmental circumstance occurring when objects cool to below the frost point of the surrounding air...warm air is escaping skyward after a cold, clear night. The result is ice crystals forming from the tiniest particles outward, from spider webs to steel wheels, covering the entire land. In this case the central prairies near Wilkie, Saskatchewan.
The topic of quiet contemplation here is the scale comparison between an ice crystal and the vast prairie. It is all about the land!

Please enter only TWO PIECES PER WEEK. If you will be entering many pieces, I will edit those that are similar in appearance, unless, of course, the similarity has a reason...like and editorial statement about that particular topic. I do not want this to become a storage site for everything you've done.

OK. Let's get into the dirt...Canadian style!
