Detail,Looking through a crystal ball, 2025
Watercolour/Gouache on Arches 140lb rag paper. The painting reflects Wendy's connections with Isabel McLaughlin as an artist through life experiences and inspirations.......bringing the inside outside spiritually in a similiar duality of our families histories, legacies that contributed to settling and building Canada. In this composition Wendy has incorporated the back view of Sprinvale/Webster Mansion 1797 with the Palm House Greenhouse. Wendy was inspired by a story from the people that keep Parkwood vibrant that the greenhouse becomes a snow globe. At the end of October 2024 my great grandfather's house was designated an historical site, Webster Falls. Wendy imagines her grandfather running through the backdoor of Springvale as the McLaughlin girls playing in the Greenhouses.
