Hwy 93 - Num Ti Jah to Jasper - September 2014

Went on a painting adventure down beautiful Hwy 93 from Banff to Jasper Alberta. Justin (my best Plein Air painting buddy) and I were in for a great treat... Painting for 5 days all the way down the hwy! Whaat?! It was soooo great and we got to see so much beauty. We can't wait to do it all again next Summer or Fall... 5 days was not enough - next year we need at least 10 days! The autumn colours and massive mountains were amazing...

Tekerra Mnt from Tekerra Lodge - Jasper Alberta

Staying at Tekerra Lodge this summer was great. I loved looking into the valley from the ridge. I was with a group of painters taking a workshop from Jerry Markham who was an amazing instructor. We were paining until as late as we could, most of us were out there until 9:30pm. The light was so yellow and warm that night. When I painted this I was standing underneath a beautiful Tamarack tree.

Victoria, British Columbia - Yellowpoint - July 2014

Had a great opportunity to paint with my good pal Justin Beckett near Victoria B.C. It poured rain the day that we painted but we stuck it out... both hiding under trees to find refuge. We could hear the down pour at times, a few birds in the distance making sounds... but we stayed dry. It was quite surprising how much coverage you can find under a tree! It was a wonderful couple of days of painting...
