Numa Pass-Rock Wall-Canadian Rockies


Living in Banff I am so fortunate as there are hundreds of peaks in all directions to explore. About an hour and a half drive from Banff is the trail head to Floe Lake. After a 10 km uphill hike to Floe we climbed higher to Numa Pass and spent the afternoon exploring the area. As the sun began to set the mountains were on fire with color and light. This painting of Numa Pass tries to capture that "fire in the sky" or "alpen glow" that can only be experienced in the alpine of the mountains.

Mount Robson-Canadian Rockies


Mount Robson is the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, towering 12,972 feet (3,954m) above Berg Lake. Berg Glacier, a massive ice river that drops into Berg Lake, is one of the few living (or advancing) glaciers in the Canadian Rockies. When we hiked into Berg Lake the temperature was 32c, so we did a quick dip into it's icy waters to cool down.

This area of the Rockies is special to me, and one day I hope to take my son Robson there.

Seabright Sunset


We travelled this summer to the East Coast of Canada and stayed at a cottage on the shores of St. Margaret's Bay. Visiting friends, sailing, swimming and walking the beaches filled up our days. The locals kept apologizing for the weather, but I found it offered a variety of moods throughout the day. This painting is at days end, where the dark clouds are softened by the vibrant color of the setting sun.

Solitary Tree


I spend a lot of time in the outdoors, and one of my favorite pastimes is wandering in the forest. Everything is up close and personal, with many choices for subject matter. Solitary Tree was painted in the Valhalla's, across the lake from New Denver, B.C.
