Of all the small canvases Chris painted in his final months, this one gives the most sky — a full swirl of cloud pressing down on a single windswept pine, the warm Georgian Bay granite anchoring it all from below. The pine bends almost horizontal, holding on. Painted in 2010, one of his last works.
