Take A Long View – was an inspired painting created on site, en Plein Air, at Cascade Pond one early summer morning. I arrived early before the crowds and had decided this would be my view for a few hours. It’s such a unique area of our Rocky Mountains. The famous red chairs area a welcomed site in many of the iconic Rocky Mountain locations. It welcomed you to sit a while and to cast your eyes on the distant mountains, to take a long view of life!
“Moose Lake Memories” this gorgeous scene welcomed me as I enjoyed a short paddle in my kayak. Now and then, just around the corner there is something waiting to take your breath away. This we spot for me. The aqua green tones in the water and the glow of the bright green foliage seemed to intermingle along the shoreline. It was a smokey day in this part of British Columbia and the lighting was very mystical. Rocky shores, pine tree forests and mountains could only be improved on by the sound of a loon as it swam into this little bay area. I had such a delightful afternoon spent capturing this magical place.
Springs of Living Water, was painted alongside a creek up in Panarama Resort in the interior of British Columbia, Canada. The tranquility and calm of this lively creek ,( I think is called Toby Creek), was such a blessing to me during the summer of 2021. I visited this spot a few times. It felt far away from the chaos of the world at the time. The sound of the flowing water simply soothes the soul. The way the sparkle of light hit the water and bounced about in the green plant life was a challenge to capture, yet it was what made me stop and want to paint it. To say it was dancing and teasing me is not an over statement. The name was an automatic to me, this was a fresh burst of living water.
This was painted on location on a beautiful foothills of Alberta, on land we dub “the west property”. The small of canola ripping in the fields and the buzzing of the many bees kept me alive in a multitude of senses as I painted the afternoon away. This is the first time creating a diptych in plein air and I so enjoyed the challenge. Largely capturing the moment with a pallet knife while moving quickly so I didn’t loose the beauty of the light. The textures and the brilliant yellow colour simply draws your eye and captures your imagination.
