Landscapes
The vista. The view - from a window, a hill top, across a valley, so many places. A landscape painting has the ability to communicate the colours and textures, sometimes even sounds and smells of a place we once visited in real life or maybe in our dreams.
Forest fires are almost an annual climate event in many parts of the world, certainly in British Columbia, Canada. These three paintings were inspired by the fires of both 2017 and 2021.
My local art centre recently held a members show with the theme of: Okanagan Summer. As I drove through the valley, I was inspired by the beautiful blue of the lakes, the golden hills (it gets very hot and dry here) and the subtle skies. Here's what I painted the next day.
The paintings are individual, stand alone OR they could be put together as shown below.
