New Artwork Over The Past Few Months!

The latest and greatest works are…

So many beautiful parks and trails surround the Columbia Valley. If you need directions to one of these places, it usually starts with ‘you need to drive about an hour’. West, East, North or South – whichever way you go you’re going to find a gem. Jumbo Pass is one of those amazing places! Wildflowers, glaciers, waterfalls and so many incredible views!

Top Of The World Provincial Park! You really do feel like you’re on top of the world up there! An easy and fun hike up to Fish Lake. Stay the night – find a camping spot or grab a bunk in the cabin. When you wake up – grab your fishing rods and start casting 🎣

Bugaboos! Fun to say and fun to explore! The famous bugaboo spires make this one of the most recognizable peaks in the area! Climbers from all over the world come to conquer them. Bugaboo Provincial Park is located north of Invermere in the Purcell Mountains. There are lots of river crossings, water falls and soooo much bear poop 🐻💩😆 I highly recommend taking a trip to the Bugaboos – you won’t be sorry! It’s beautiful!!!

A new train painting for the weekend! Tanker cars on a windswept prairie with a chinook arch up in the sky – does it get any more Albertan than that? I had finished this painting back in the spring and brought it with me to the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair – it was definitely a conversation starter! Good and Bad! But that’s what art is about, making people feel something! One man told me it reminded him of his childhood back in China. Many (and I mean many) knew exactly where I had taken the photo for this painting – making me think, our country isn’t really that big!

Magical things happen when it gets to -40 degrees in Alberta! Last year during one of our crazy deep freezes we were in Banff and I was able to take some of these amazing photos! And by able to…I mean – my camera didn’t stop working, my eyelashes didn’t freeze together, and my fingers didn’t get frost bite because those are actual things that actually happen in -40 😂 It was one of the most frigidly beautiful days down at Vermillion Lakes and the views were spectacular! The only thing you can’t tell from the photo is that it was super smelly from the sulphuric hot springs on the edge of the shore. And it’s the reason the water isn’t totally frozen! Mother Nature sure is awesome!

A pretty & snowy little tree to brighten your day on a very snowy and blustery day here in Calgary! This painting was inspired by a snowshoeing adventure last winter. As we headed back to the truck, the sun was going down – the world around us was turning into a pink and purple winter wonderland! So beautiful!
