Each painting in this series feature colors of the East Coast Newfoundland landscape. Heather lives near coastal areas with Cinnamon Ferns. She tends toward the brighter, transition stage of this plant's lifecycle...glowing with orange-rimmed yellows in the early fall sun. When they sway and wiggle in the wind, she loves to join their dance!

Created during my September residency with the Pouch Cove Foundation in Newfoundland. Inspired by Mistaken Point, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where thousands of the earliest known animal fossils are exposed on cliffsides facing the Atlantic. The simple shapes look like plants or sea sponges; the animals died out about 530 million years ago. I imagine their continued timeline, diversifying, evolving, migrating. Their sprayed outlines mimic the liquid gold of sunset shimmering off the ocean waves that surround them.
