In Our Midst by Rose-Marie Goodwin

Have you ever missed a ‘truth’ ---- right in front of your eyes? And so it was, early one spring morning at McKay Creek near my studio, the light just peeking through the budding branches.

High up. Quiet. Majestic. Peaceful. Fresh.

Such awesomeness right ‘In Our Midst‘.

And then…and maybe not surprisingly…garbage: wasted metal, debris, and paper - irreverently tossed into this pristine sanctuary.

And then…. the sign: ‘This is a conservation creek” which knotted my stomach and bade me to learn more, and to possibly document this place: to return to wanderings there in the quiet of the day and to hopefully express what was naturally intended - not what is.

I have attempted to reveal its’ natural grandeur and peacefulness in this series: ‘In Our Midst’ - 12 large canvasses (48” x 48”) in a designed palette of gentle but impenetrable colour.

The paintings speak of care – reflecting that which has been given to us - in every way – in us and around us.
