Down the Bow

42” x 42”, oil on canvas

$3700

I love visiting the Banff area and one of my favourite things to do in the summer is to canoe down the Bow river from Banff to Canmore. It really allows you to take in all the sights at a nice pace, as you don’t even need to paddle, just float, steer around the occasional rapids, and sip on a cold bevvy. All the while enjoying the stunning views in every direction. 

This particular scene really hit me with the sunlight pouring down over the edge of the mountain and lighting everything up with a shimmering glow. I also loved how the human figures are dwarfed by the scale of the mountains while the red kayaks add a pop of colour to the painting.
