An 8 day back country-horse back trip north of Jasper National Park has provided me with a lifetime (no exaggeration) of inspiration. We rode in one of Alberta's wildlands parks and it was incredible!!

I haven't worked this large before. But I love the freedom the size gave me to explore paint, collage, and mark making.
Enjoy your day wherever you are!
The trip sounds spectacular, so much beauty and raw energy to take in.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nelvia!
Deleteliking the 'illiteral' feeling of landscape here, the limited palette, the suggestion of story beneath the surface, the visual diary of travel and exploration
ReplyDeleteDotty.... your way with words is wonderful! Seem to be leaning to a more neutral/tonal palette. Love that you can see 'the suggestions of the story beneath! There is quite a story in the mountains and in areas where things have been folded and faulted (explanation courtesy of my geophysicist husband) I find myself curious and excited seeing those surfaces exposed and wondering what is beneath!
DeleteGreat work. Hope to see more bigger paintings.
ReplyDeleteThanks Judith. Have a few more at various stages of 'paint' - studio time is a bit limited this month! Enjoying your work - have to get over to your website!!
DeleteSounds amazing :) This piece is gorgeous! The light shapes, the glow, the warm earth tones. WOW!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Sheila. It is quite a journey we are all on with our art!
DeleteWhat a great expedition! Looking forward to see more of your exploration.
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous painting : so full of energy!
Hi Martine - thank you very much! Yes was a great trip to recharge and then to come home with enough inspiration for a lifetime! I am glad you like the painting - is a bit of a break through for me in my painting. I hope you are finding time for some painting.
