Fleet's In

I've been to the East Coast of Canada a few times now, visiting the Seabright area near Peggy's Cove. The weathered buildings with the contrasting brightly painted boats and roofs caught my eye, and inspired me to paint Fleet's in.

Rock Medley

In 2000 I travelled to the East Kootenay's of British Columbia to spend a week with a painter named Les Weisbrich. In that week, I learned much about art, nature, painting.....I also learned a lot about myself.

Les has left us now and I'm sure he helps to create the magnificent sunsets we have in the Rockies, but from him I gained a true appreciation for water. Les was hired by Parks Canada one year to travel the country and paint water in the varied National Parks across our country.

I enjoyed painting Rock Medley in the company of Les.

Rock Pond

Water. It is such an integral part of our life.

70% of our bodies are water.

70% of the earth is covered in ocean.

Water.......

My next series of posts will focus on images of water, from my perspective, from stagnant ponds, to eddies in a river, to flowing streams, to snowfields...water. It is part of our soul, our , makeup, our existence. This is why I love to paint in WATERcolor so much. It is a part of me.

This image is of a pond full of rocks. Simple, clear, ....water.

Rundle Corner

Living in the mountains and seeing them everyday, you begin to have your favourites. Mount Rundle is one of mine. Named after a missionary in the 1,800's, it rises above Banff and can be seen from all corners of the valley. One of my favorite views is from the Admin grounds in Banff, where Rundle fills the sky as it towers above the Town.

Here is another watercolor I did years ago of Mount Rundle in the winter. The scene again is from the fantastic view of the mountain from the Vermillion lakes in Banff.

I never get tired of painting this beautiful mountain. It has many wonderful personalities throughout the seasons of the year.

I hope that you enjoy this watercolor as much as I enjoyed painting it.

First let me welcome you to my blog, and invite you to come back often and visit, as I share my watercolor paintings with you and invite you into my world of Watercolor Painting.

I am a watercolor artist living and working in beautiful Banff, Alberta Canada. As a self taught watercolor artist, I am inspired by the magnificant landscapes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains and the joy and the wonder that they provide in this beautiful environment.

This watercolor is of Mount Rundle in the fall, with the Vermillion lakes in the foreground. Mount Rundle is perhaps one of the most photographed mountains in the Banff area, and is one of my favorites in terms of subject matter.

It is a joy to paint this mountain in winter, spring, and summer.

I hope you will sign up for regular updates to my blog, and come back and visit often, as I will be posting my watercolors for sale on an ongoing basis.
