I am a contemporary Canadian landscape artist. I'm a visual story teller engaged in a mad race against time. recording disappearing pre-urbanized landscapes, as cities swallow land in fertile temperate zones. I use Elemental Texture, Luminous Colour, Symbolic Shapes and Lyrical Line and a process I have developed and call Glazed Acrylic. also see me on instagram @robinbarattaartist

Elegant Oak

 




Live Oaks, survivors of century's of human occupation.
From the first peoples, to successive waves of European settlers, the oaks have endured , watching no doubt bemused with arboreal wisdom at the short range lives we live.
Like the SW Ontario rural landscapes I paint, these low country (at sea level) survivors are at risk from both human activities and from more frequent and stronger hurricanes.
This piece is part of my hurricane coast series, in which I'm recording the what is, before it becomes the what was.
