Juanita Bellavance, Misty bay 1, 2019, Acrylic on canvas, 48 x 48 inches

Excited by this particular palette I saw in a large rug I decided to make a painting using it. Upon completion this had a slightly Asian feel to it. I’m spite of the many shapes there is a serenity about the peace.

There is a Korean song titled Arirang that is called to mind for me from the painting. Even though the song is about a mountain it’s meaning is beloved one. It has a certain lilting sensation that I can imagine soaring far into the distance through the mist across this seeming bay.

Listening to a version of the song just now I discovered it and Amazing Grace partner beautifully. To here the song, go here.
