When Carol Whitcombe called last season to say she wanted to be a part of our United Nations Day provincial artist and artisan's exhibition of work, little did we know just what a talented woman and great friend to the Joggins Fossil Cliffs Carol would turn out to be.
Carol visited today to bring along her latest pieces, which feature the cliffs of Joggins. Carol's present muse is her love for the features of the coastal rock formations and how the light of the day plays upon the rocks and fissures.
I had goosebumps when Carol revealed her first piece, one which has taken her over three months. Hidden Treasures is a masterpiece, which showcases Carol's truly unique talent for taking her three dimensional inspiration and transplanting this in its very minute details onto paper.
The other two pieces, Joggins Sunset Cliffs and Sunset's Glow on Joggins Beach induced the same reaction and I had to look closer to make sure that Carol wasn't trying to "pull one over" with photographs but, no.
These one of a kind, original paintings are for sale at the centre and Carol has kindly offered to make a donation to the Joggins Fossil Institute from their sale.
We will also be selling limited edition matted prints, which will be in the Green Crow Gift Shop and Gallery soon.
