Youthful Creations-Canadian Rockies

My son is 15 now. Plays hockey, rugby, basketball....loves music. He says he is not an artist, but he is taking art in school and has created some great pieces. When he was younger, he would always say"Dad, can we paint?!"He loved art in those early years. Whether it was on a road trip or at home, we would always be creating a painting, each of us sharing in the idea and choice of subject.

One day Robson came up with the idea to create a painting about Banff, our friends and all we do there. There are mountains, rivers, lakes and snow. Trees and log cabins with fires burning, and smoke coming out of the chimney. There's a chairlift, skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, walking the dog and ice hockey. We always have a neighbourhood fire pit, cooking marshmallows, and of course we shovel snow. The two of us made a trip one summer to the West coast and were on a couple of BC Ferries, so of course that is in the picture to.

As I look at the painting it is a bit of a walk down memory lane of our life here. We have had great adventures, with many more to come.
