Painting 1 of 13: Twillingate, Newfoundland & Labrador

Twillingate in Newfoundland & Labrador is the first painting I completed in my Canadian Landscape series. This piece captured my attention first mostly because I was eager to paint an iceberg haha! I also love the unique colorful houses found along Canada's east coast. 

Newfoundland is stunningly beautiful and had many landscapes for me to choose from. Another option I considered was the fjord in Gros Morne National Park. I ended up choosing Twillingate because it is one of the only places (if not the only place) in Canada where you can view gargantuan-sized icebergs from residential areas! You may recall a few years back when Newfoundlanders were taking surreal looking photos of icebergs in their backyards. The photos really put the scale of these ice giants into context. The icebergs are MASSIVE and completely dwarfed the homes they were floating by. Those images stuck with me, and ultimately was why I chose Twillingate as the location for my Newfoundland painting.
