Description
The northeasterly wind of the cold conveyor belt feeding into the approaching storm was still howling - so I remained in the lee of a tall stand of white pine trees. It was raining down white pine needles and seeds and several will stay mixed with the oil paint forever. The needles came down assembled in groups of five and there are indeed five letters in the word "white". Red pine needles come in clusters of three. Apparently trees can spell as well as lock carbon and help to purify the air.
This view is looking southwest across Lake Solitaire through a curtain of pines and thin white cedars. The cliff of Echo Rock is barely discernible on the extreme right side of the canvas.
The title is after the "Bamboo Curtain" which was the Cold War expression for the political demarcation between the Communist states of East Asia, particularly the People's Republic of China, and the capitalist and non-Communist states of the region. People in Asian Communist nations were said to be "behind the Bamboo Curtain." The term was derived from "Iron Curtain", a term used widely in Europe from the late 1940s to the early '90s to refer to that region's Communist boundaries. Being behind the "Pine Curtain" in Canada is a very good thing.
