Mountains of Rock: Scenes of the Canadian Rockies.

I continue to revisit some favorite locations with my brush. My previous painting series “Quarantine Travels” and “Colors of Colorado” helped me weather quite a few challenges in 2020.

Here is a new series featuring scenes from the Canadian Rocky Mountains. I will continue to post each completed painting to the series until I am ready to journey elsewhere.
