This painting captures a small boat long beached along the south shoreline of East Trout Lake, resting quietly beneath the light filtering through boreal pines. Once shaped by water and movement, it now sits in stillness — weathered and absorbed into the landscape around it.
This piece reflects on Passages — of seasons shifting, of time leaving its mark, of what remains after movement has ceased.

Passages – Pat Katz
As we make our way along life’s path, new passages appear around every corner.
Mystery lives in what lies around that bend, down that side street, through that archway, and behind that door.
The challenge is mustering the courage to respond with confidence – staying open to a world of discovery and wonder in the midst of uncertainty.

Life is a series of passages some significant and others not even noticed until many years later when an image like this appears and memories come back.
The passages of life continue as we grow in our awareness and understanding, making choices as we go. Like the slide those choices can be exhilarating, terrifying or anywhere in between.

When I think of passages I think of the passage of time and the evolution of ideas over a passage of time. For many years I have been painting pictures of the “royal couple” birds and have had a lot of fun putting them into different scenes and environments.

Our recent Mediterranean cruise stopped in Rhodes on a public holiday. Although we could not go inside the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes, we enjoyed a stroll through the now dry moat. In it, we came upon this lovely passageway.

A passage can be a doorway, an alley, or a walk through a forest Its a
transition or a journey. A passage can be easy or challenging, with or
without a clear destination. In the spring the ice will crash and
glide around the next bend and gone. Do we travel with it, try to
cross…or simply witness it’s passing?

Hut Above Sahara was inspired by a tour in Morocco, a dive into ancient places. This view was experienced following an off-road drive up a rugged hill that brought us to the remains of an old shelter. Signs of humans having been on this hill were evident including graffiti, abandoned shoes, a cup, remnants of metal, stories left behind.

The country road is a passage, leading from one place to another without hurry. It carries travellers past open spaces and quiet turns, it leads farmers to their fields, it is the path from one neighbour to another, it’s the way to Grandma’s house, the road to town …

Day into night; childhood into adulthood; joy onto sorrow and back again. Every moment is a temporary gift through the passages of life.
Passages – Jean Dudley
I use this idea often when I think about time – how illusive it is, how impossible it is to hang onto. Time also changes everything: we get older, the seasons come and go, people who are important to us leave us. It also brings great hope, constant change, both predictable and unpredictable.
