Painting of Starvation Bay, San Souci, near Parry Sound, Georgian Bay - PAINTING OF THE WEEK · Jun 11, 04:00 pm
Carol Currie’s latest commissioned work. Commissioned by an avid Sailor of Georgian Bay and the Great Lakes. He was enthralled by the tremendous orange lichen covering almost the entire Island at Starvation Bay, located near San Souci. It was a typical misty day, creating contrasts between the ice formed rock and the lava formations.
“What a thrill to work on this piece. I absolutely loved the shapes and lines in the rock.”

Painting of the Month - April 2010 · Apr 29, 11:32 am
Nearly completed, this is the Painting of the Month for April. The photos below show a work in progress, a closeup of details, then the ‘nearly’ finished piece.
The Rockface is complete. The clients will be in to review the piece on Saturday to discuss the addition of a tree element. The original intent of the composition allowed for a pine to be placed on the third panel at the top of the rock .. small as if coming from the land beyond and behind the rockface. But I have a few other new ideas as well.

This painting is the largest single panel commission to date, at 40” x 80”. The client wanted a tall, rugged cliffface with high contrasting shadows to remind her of Ontario North. The piece was created for their condo in downtown Toronto, noting the 16 foot ceilings and expansive windows.
