Time’s Arrow by Chris James Cooper

Discovery

Two windswept pines lean together across a Georgian Bay shoreline, shaped by the same wind, rooted in the same granite. Painted in 2009, the year before Chris’s final series of small canvases, Time’s Arrow carries the title’s quiet weight: time moves in one direction only, and the landscape holds its mark.
