My wife and I went today to Bragg creek, I was able to find a couple of places whilst exploring and this was one of them. Here I am standing at the waters edge with a foot of Ice under me, 30cm for those who only understand metric. I was close to the edge and the weather is getting a lot warmer will it crack and break off dragging me into the 6 inches of freezing run off rapids, we can only hope.
Oil on board 8*10
I have only ever done one other river before and that was from a photo and it was an autumn scene so this was a challenge to get the light right and to get the edges in the distance to receed properly. Painting snow, Whooo weee, snow has many colours and greys so make sure your white pool is clean.

Wow. I can feel the cold, and smell the snow. This painting makes me wish to be there.
BTW, do you remember your "Sailing the sea to Saskatoon" print? Fantastic that was too.
That was a while back, how did you remember, I liked that one.
