Spar Peak-Canadian Rockies

One of our favorite places to hike in the summer/fall is the Alpine area around Sunshine Village West of Banff. At times you walk from Alberta into British Columbia and back again. This painting is of Spar Peak, located in B.C. I was trying to capture that moment in time where the light changes, the sky/clouds/mountains are in a shroud of color...Alpenglow.

VERMILION AUTUMN-CANADIAN ROCKIES

The days are getting colder in Banff, new snow covered the peaks this morning.

On a walk yesterday morning the grass crackled like broken glass, it was coated with dew then frozen in the early morning air. Eventually the sun warmed the valley, the colors of autumn bursting from every corner. At Vermilion lakes, in the shadow of Mt. Rundle, the waters were still, alpenglow painted the sky and everything is calm before the arrival of Winter.

Mt. Assiniboine in Autumn

One of my favorite times in the mountains is in the Fall. The air is crisp, there is new snow on the peaks. The contrast of the rich autumn colors to the cold rock and ice is striking.

This painting is from a trip to Assiniboine in late September.

Mt. Assiniboine

Mt. Assiniboine

The Matterhorn of the Rockies.

I first stood in the shadow of Mt. Assiniboine in the late 70's. I had cross country skied in and had to carry a pack with all my belongings. I have also stood in the shadow of the Matterhorn in Switzerland. Both are powerful mountains.

This painting of Mt. Assiniboine was in the early morning, the sun just coming up, the air cold and crisp, not a breath of wind. Painted in Sepia, it offers great contrast of morning light and cold dark rock surrounded by glaciers.

Mt. Edith Cavell

Located south of Jasper in Jasper National Park, Mt. Edith Cavell rises 11,033 ft./3,363m above Mt. Edith Cavell Lake. Both are named after Edith Louise Cavell, a World War 1 nurse who helped many prisoners during the war.

The base of the mountain is a place of power, with the mountain towering above you and the calm waters of the lake reflecting all around it. I painted this piece in sepia, hoping to catch the simple but powerful energy of this place.

Bugaboo Storm

A few years ago I began painting only using the color Sepia. The effect is monochromatic, and people have said my paintings look like old black and white photos. By adding more paint, or different amounts of water, you can create very dramatic moods and tones.

This painting in the Bugaboos, one of my sacred ground areas, was done during a dramatic storm. The main peak in the foreground is Houndstooth/Marmolata, a massive granite wall that jumps out of the glacier.

Cabin Lake

One of my favorite places to hike is in Mt. Assiniboine Park West of Banff. One day I came across this lake which was not on any topo map. The reflections of the surrounding area and the transparent views below inspired me to paint Cabin Lake.
