An oil on canvas painting of MacDonald Park in Kingston, Ontario. The painting depicts the aftermath of the 1998 Ice Storm that ravaged Kingston and the surrounding area. There are ominous dark grey clouds over a forest of broken trees with debris and snow in the foreground. "BLENDERMAN" is written in dark paint in the bottom left corner. The painting is housed in a simple wood frame.
In 1998, from January 5th to the 10th, freezing rain and ice pellets battered eastern Canada, plastering affected areas with heavy ice that toppled power and phone lines, trees, utility poles and electrical towers.
Robert A. Blenderman is a self-taught artist, who has been painting since 1960. His works have been shown in galleries in Kingston, Germany, and the USA. His landscapes can be soft and impressionistic, semi-abstract, or verging on pure abstract expressionism in the progressively less representational works.
