Ontario Badlands
(2011)
Subject: Landscape Dimensions (inches): 9 x 12 Medium: Acrylic Description: Badlands' is a geologic term for an area of soft rock devoid of vegetation and soil cover that has become molded into a rolling landscape of rounded hills and gullies. Such areas are rare in Ontario and this is one of the best examples. They exhibit the reddish hue of the Queenston Shale that forms them; the iron oxide in the shale produces this colour. The narrow greenish bands that can be seen throughout the shale are due to the change of red iron oxide to green iron oxide brought on by the circulating groundwater. The relatively soft shale is essentially clay and is easily eroded by water. This site is located in Cheltenham, Ontario, Canada and is a surprise outcropping when leisurely driving through the countryside near Orangeville.
