Artist's Comments

Acrylic on Canvas, 24" x 30"
Status: Available

Oh, boy, do I know Kamloops in winter. Also in summer, fall, and spring, but winter seems to be the longest-lasting season.

This one is based on Northlock's lovely photo. I exaggerated a LOT as you can tell, fluorescently so. I wanted to go way over the edge with color and contrast it with the smooth, cold slopes. It reminds me of the Kamloops of my childhood, when the winters were snowier and more Wonderlandy. Or possibly the late 80s, when things in general were just a lot more neon.

You know what I'm talking about, right? Good heavens, was I the only one who accessorized an army green jumpsuit with a neon pink headband back then? *facepalm*

Brrrr...I remember those cold, winter days and don't miss them at all. This is excellent; kind of has a group of seven feel.

How I love your paintings! Seriously, it's VERY rare for me to just "love" a painting. But I feel it with almost everyone of your paintings, and since I'm a sucker for blue tones, this one is very efficient in the LOVE department.

As soon as I start getting some serious income, I'm buying tons of paintings from you!
