Invasive Species

A couple of years ago 
I sketched and photographed
 an interesting scene
 in Presquile Provincial Park....
bright, colourful and lively.
I discovered the following year 
that the plant was Phragmites
or European common reed,
an invasive species in the process
 of being eradicated!!

Alas, not all European imports
 are as desirable as 
French cheese and Italian Prosciutto!

The sun sets on 2015




 The setting sun and receding tide inspired this pastel.

 A 2014 trip 
to the Gaspe peninsula region
of eastern Canada 
was a great opportunity 
to study sunsets 
over the St. Lawrence river 
and Atlantic.
