Guardian Rockface

When the temperature warmed up to 8 degrees centigrade and the day was sunny, we got "the plein air itch". That's a condition when you'd rather be outdoors, painting, no matter what, than indoors doing studio work. We have artist-friends who paint en plein air even when it snows (you know who you are). I title this watercolour "Guardian Rockface" simply because that's the rockface behind the Guardian drugstore up the road on Southgate Drive.

Rockfaces fascinate me. There is something beautifully mathematical (fractal, Fibbonaccian or Eulerian) about the lines, shapes and values on rockfaces (I must check out this potentially ground-breaking thesis on a Google Search). This could be considered too mathematical for artists or too artistic for mathematicians. In any case, I delight in the visual senses of rockfaces and will return to this part of the plein air equation again.
