JH Moonrise Hope Bay

Artist: Jane Hammond

I painted this picture from a photograph I took from the dock at Hope Bay when I was living on the corner of Bedwell Harbour Road and Clam Bay Road and there was only the Goldsmith Shop at the docks. What I like about this painting is that I caught the moon rising at the same time the sun was setting.

My subjects for painting and sculpture are many and varied. Portraits, both human and the four-legged kind, sea scapes, landscapes, fields and city streets and buildings. Especially those in Montreal. It takes me a long time to finish a painting. I like the struggle in the paint I see in the end result. I feel this gives the work more depth and meaning and is the reason I paint. If I could do the painting perfectly without effort and quickly then I wouldn’t paint. I’m never happier than when I’m in the middle of the struggle.
