Title: Sombre Light at the Brick Works
Medium: Oil on Wood Panel
Size: 36″ x 48″
Artist: Charles Wakefield
Year: 2010
Artist’s Statement: I started painting a series on the Don Valley Brick Works a few years ago to document the changes which were taking place in this historic site in Toronto. While most of my works are Plein Air paintings, this one is a studio piece, based on photographs that I take on my many walks through the walking trails in the old quarry. I chose to make this painting almost monochromatic to capture the moodiness of the scene. It was an overcast day, with low clouds, the city-scape barely poking through the clouds. The reflections of the buildings in the pond were marred by the slightest ripples indicating a breeze. The sun was bravely shining, behind the clouds, in a vain attempt to burn off the heavy mist, and cast its light on the glassy pond.

This painting of the view from the beach at Emily Provincial Park on Pidgeon Lake near Omemee, Ontario. Mixing the blues was very elusive, I finally realized that I had mixed all my tubes of blue paints together to get the blues I wanted.

For my friend this picture title is Jelly Fish – as she claims to see the fish swiming in the cubes of jello!… I named it Prosperity – may we all live long and prosper and may the 2010 be great in every way. Prosperity for All!

The wild and rocky Cape Breton shore is a romantic spot, frequented by seabirds and tourists mainly.  It is ideal to inspire artists, too, and, as you paint (or maybe take photos) you will sea eagles soaring overhead.

Lower Pitt Lake is a charming part of the Fraser River system where I have spent many a happy hour drinking in the peace and observing the great blue herons. The mountains of the Coastal Range are off in the distance.
