Diamond W Ranch-Foothills Canadian Rockies

Good friends of ours bought their Uncles ranch that has been in the family for around 75 years. It is located in the foothills, on the outer edge of the Canadian Rockies. We went there on the weekend to a party they had to celebrate life and to show all their friends the ranch. There were around 140 people there for the pig roast. 40 of us slept over in tents and campers and danced in the barn to Western music. The next morning 4 of us cooked a breakfast of coffee, blueberry pancakes, sausages and fruit for the gang.

I wanted to give them something special, a memento of the party and all their friends. I created Diamond W Ranch, a painting of their barn, the surrounding forest and the mountains off in the distance. The painting is fairly large.....30" x 40", with white space below for all the guests to leave a message in colored pens. People were shy at first to touch the canvas. By the end of the night it was full of congrats, great job, etc!

Thanks Diamond W. We will be back again!
