This was inspired from an image I captured on my way home from teaching art at a small prairie town. I love using Oil and Cold wax and a variety of tools.
This little study was inspired from a 3 day hike high up into Waterton National Parks in southern AB in the fall of 2020. What an incredible hiking trip we had. Many paintings will be created from the photos I gathered from that experience.
I captured this lovely scene while painting en Plein Air south of Calgary at the Coutts Heritage Centre. This field of poppies as drawn me back to visit it year after year. This one was created using Oil and Cold wax, which is quit wonderful yet tricky to use on location. I was delighted with the results!
This was created from an inspiration during a hike in the amazing southern Alberta of the Rocky Mountains called, Waterton National Park. This was a very exciting piece to create in the studio as I recalled our three day adventure in the area. Using oil and cold wax, allows for the use for many tools to move the paints and create lots of textures. The lush green undergrowth off set by the dead standing trees was such a contrast.This is one of those paintings a person needs to see in person ! I have always loved the larch trees in the fall, they seem to celebrate the change of seasons with their magical golden glow.
Inspired by a wonderful trip in early spring to Osyoose, BC. The fruit trees were all in bloom while I was visiting that area of BC. This was painted using only pallet knife and other tools using Oil and Cold Wax.
In the incredibly beautiful foothills of the Rocky Mountains along a windy road in mid summer a couple of years ago, I pulled over and sketched this lush green landscape. The emerald and multiple shades of green captured my eye, with the distant grey blue mountains. I’ve driven this Southern Alberta road west of Nanton many times, and often thought I need to stop and capture this peaceful scene. I didn’t finish the painting on location, as it was simply way to windy. I did a small 6 X 12 of this rolling foothills painting and then decided to make it much larger in oil and cold wax on cradled canvas.
