Centred StoneOct. 17, 1982, Toronto Beaches district The water, exquisitely rendered by the diffuse sky light and rippled by a light breeze, is still flat enough to give an impression of light passing between the clouds. The foreground object, anchored to the edge of the frame, frees the eye to roam over the lake and sky but, as there are no major forms out there to engage the eye - texture is not enough - an aesthetic arrest takes place. What started out as a subtle study in movement ends up being a picture of stillness.
