Gargantua
This painting is a part of the Growing Freely Collection which is inspired by my time hiking the Lake Superior Coastal Trail. The collection began in the Fall of 2021 and is continuing to grow with me into 2022.
“Gargantua”, 16x24”, mixed media on a gallery-style, handcrafted canvas.
This particular painting is inspired by my time hiking the Lake Superior Coastal Trail. The name “Gargantua” comes from the first section of the hike that we completed. It was by far the hardest part of the trail as we climbed this peak in the middle of a wind and rain storm. This is the view we had of the peak whenever we would look back and see how far we’ve come.
Lake Superior is the largest, deepest, darkest, most mysterious of all the Great Lakes. The following poem by J. Hawke offers a beautiful description of Lake Superior and continues to serve as an inspiration for the Growing Freely Collection.
“Majestic seas, rise so high
And take me captive with your hypnotic tune.
With thunderous crash, or whispering sigh,
Bear witness to the gull and silent dune.
Release your truths for those in need,
but divulge not the mysteries you hold.
Sequester them so all may heed
The many secrets best left untold.
Breathe into me eternal peace
Lest task and obligation fill with dread.
I trust, no, plead you will not cease
To quench the fear of men misled.
Provide safe port through sun and gale
A harbour's light for stewards so true
A gentle wind by which to sail
With humble reverence pledged anew.”
