Towering clouds, reflective lake light, and the iconic silhouette of the Sleeping Giant define this limited edition fine art print by Canadian artist Jeff Dillon. Reproduced from t he original heavy body acrylic painting, the artwork preserves the scale, atmosphere, and layered movement of the Thunder Bay landscape and surrounding shoreline. Visible from many places in Thunder Bay, “The Sleeping Giant” is the city’s most well known natural wonder. The land form resembles a giant lying on its back when viewed from the west to north-northwest. It has a wonderful history that is well worth researching to learn more about. I completed this painting of the treasured landmark as a commission. This piece also features a stunning dynamic cloudscape that is thick and extremely high. The sun pierces through the lofty clouds onto the water in long reflective rays that stretch across the horizon. The rolling cloud formations contrast against the calm horizontal line of the lake and the vertical beams of sunlight breaking through the atmosphere. Subtle tonal shifts throughout the water, sky, and distant city create depth while allowing the Sleeping Giant itself to remain the grounding presence within the landscape. Show more
