ROCK CASTLES...

4/9/2019

 

Like a sandcastle, all is temporary. Build it,
tend it, enjoy it. And when the time comes let it go.
​– Jack Kornfield

Rock Castle   30X30  Oil on Canvas
This is more than a cairn.  It’s a Rock Castle I found late one evening on Lake Superior's rocky shore. I love the makers creative design. This person is building more than a cairn, they are building a dream. Unfortunately, as a photographer, I found the late evening light disappointing. I photographed it anyway, but later, when creating this painting I changed the lighting to bring out the textures and shapes of the stacked rocks.

The art of this cairn builder inspired me. I consider Rock Castle to be a collaboration with another artist I've never met.
