The Saguenay Fjord, After The Rain

After The Rain, Saguenay Fjord, Quebec 18x24 inches Oil on board


Our last few nights were spent on the North Side of the Saguenay Fjord at a more remote campsite that sat on the edge of a river that flowed into the fjord. The first day it rained, the wind howled and we spent our time in a newly erected cooking area, A big fire in the wood stove drying our clothes. Then late that afternoon everything stopped and a calmness overcame the whole area. Dark mountains and churning water turned to rich pastels and clouds hovered in little bunches just meters from the oceans surface. This calm lasted for many hours and I remember just sitting watching and listening on the beach feeling the quiet. This painting “After The Rain, Saguenay Fjord, Quebec” 18x24 oil on board, depicts one of those quiet moments that day.
