New Landscape

Here is an acrylic landscape painting it is 36 x 24 inches on gallery wrap canvas. This one was painted from Penticton B.C.

It was quite the hike up the side of the mountain to get to this view. I started off following a trail through a meadow with trees surrounding me. Then moved on into a rocky forest, along the side of canyon walls, the pathway getting narrower as I went up. It was a nice short adventure. Moving up further, the path became very narrow and steep, quite nerve racking looking down. The hike was worth it though, since the view above was spectacular.

Nature has been mastering itself for some time now, it is an honor to be able to capture its beauty.

The 1st was done on top of a hill, looking down towards the ocean, a zoomed in view.

The 2nd was done at approximately 6am with a flashlight strapped to my head, painting in the dark, with the sun slowly rising.
