Painted in 1999, “Algonquin Clouds” showcases Cooper’s fascination with the kinetic energy of the northern sky. Using the expressive brushwork and structural composition that became his trademark, he captures the "bones" of the Algonquin landscape—where the weight of the clouds meets the ancient granite of the Canadian Shield.
