On the way to Jasper

Almost two years ago I had the pleasure of visiting Banff and Jasper.  I particularly liked the drive from one to the other and back.  The scenery was absolutely stunning.  There were numerous snow capped mountains over-looking pine filled slopes, impossibly iridescent lakes, deer, elks, mountain goats, wolf and bear along the 289 km drive.

The mountains along the Icefield Parkway are probably the most spectacular I have seen. Around each bend was a new vista, and we couldn’t resist stopping to take another dozen photos.  I came back home with hundreds of photos.  Many were taken through the front window of the car.

This new painting is derived from a photo taken during that drive.

Here is the original photo.

I'd love to go back later in the summer.

My next painting projects are for my son's new house.

Have a great week,
