MACBETH GLACIER

JULIE BRETON | MACBETH GLACIER

I am lucky enough to live in a majestic part of the world, next to glacial lakes, snowy mountain peaks and magnificent ancient trees. Here we can hike to glaciers and be inspired by natural beauty every day.

Here is MACBETH GLACIER from Monica Meadows North of Kaslo - The inspiration behind my textural abstract painting - Strangely the glacier did not get it's name from Shakespeare but from it's proximity to Duncan Lake which was named after the 11th king of Scotland. Macbeth, one of his generals rose to throne after killing King Duncan. A chilling and complicated tale on how to name a glacier.

MACBETH GLACIER FROM MONICA MEADOW

J'ai la chance inouïe de vivre à proximité de lacs glaciaires, de sommets enneigés et d'arbres millénaires majestueux. Ici, nous ne pouvons faire autre que d'être inspirés par la beauté du paysage quotidiennement. Nous avons même accès à plusieurs glaciers et sentiers de randonnées alpins. 

Voici le GLACIER MACBETH vu de Monica Meadows au nord de Kaslo - l'inspiration pour mon oeuvre. Curieusement, le nom du glacier n'a rien à voir avec Shakespeare. Il a été nommé en raison de sa proximité du lac Duncan qui porte le nom du 11ème roi d'Écosse. Macbeth, un de ses généraux, obtient le trône après avoir assassiné le Roi Duncan. Voici donc une histoire de désignation de glacier à la fois compliquée et terrifiante.

 
Sunday inspiration from @haarkon_ This talented duo’s account is filled with the most glorious travel and nature shot. I use a lot of photographic reference for my work. This one will surely be part of the collection. #haarkongreenhousetour
Collection of collage materials found in the studio. I like how sometimes if you pay attention enough the tiniest things become most important.
‘’My paintings are not about what is seen. They are about what is known forever in the mind.’’ -Agnes Martin I see this unfinished painting everyday upon entering the studio. I find it uplifting, calm, perfect in it’s i
Collection of Conté à Paris squares. Nicolas Jacques Conté, a painter, chemist, physicist, hot air baloonist and inventor started a pencil factory in 1795. It’s still going strong today. I just love using materials that have a connection
I framed this artwork for myself. I am glad I did. Everytime I see it I am reminded how I love working with colour, transparency and texture. It inspires me to get into the studio and create some more.
