I like to use high quality professional products, this gives me a feeling I am making a quality, archival painting, that can be enjoyed for a lifetime. For this painting I have used Winsor & Newton Artist Oil Paint. The support is a Reeves Canvas Board
A lot of my inspiration and desire is a result of my fifteen years in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta and British Columbia, where I had a ski cabin.
Hiking and skiing was my full time passion at that time.
The sights are spectacular, trees and flora colorful and changing with the seasons.
When painting mountains , I like to use a pallet knife and paint in an Impasto style, it gives a feeling of ruggedness , solid rock and an overall feeling of vastness.
