16 X 20″ on Arches watercolour board
Time for a landscape again; one of my favourite landscapes in the whole world. This is heading south of Irvine, up the “Bull Trail” towards the Cypress Hills on a balmy October day. SOLD

You’ll be wondering which province I’m in! I did this quick little piece in my booth at the trade show today, from my trip to Saskatchewan a couple of weeks ago. This gnarly old feed truck was sitting in a yard beside the road into my sister’s ranch, and I just liked the look of it; so competent and rugged, just like many of the people there.

Cypress Hills on a blustery day; there’s no better place for dramatic skies. The Native People called them the “Thunder Breeding Hills” for good reason. This clump of spruce are situated on the hill above Spruce Coulee, and to me, they look like a group of dancers swaying against that windy sky.

Guess I’m on a heavy horse kick these days, after painting aspens for days and heading off on various other tangents. Clydesdale mares, again. So magnificent. Hope you had a great Sunday.

Today’s project is a commission for a friend; the S. Saskatchewan River as it winds southeast towards Medicine Hat. From the top of this hill, you can see 5 bends on the river, and the Cypress Hills, blue on the horizon. As always, first I had to have a really good drawing. The river breaks are complicated and if I try and paint them without knowing where the paint should go, I always wind up in a real mess.
This is one of my favourite places to paint, and at sunset it is truly magic.
Yet another painting from my trip to Buffalo in October. The skies that day were as spectacular as any I’ve seen in years, with each point of the compass providing clouds of a different variety. This thunderhead stretched the length of the northern horizon, and hung there all afternoon. This big old cottonwood has probably seen worse in it’s day, and is still around to tell the tale.

So when my friend Courtney was through there in August, I urged her to check it out. She liked it as much as I do, and her photos are stunning. You can see them on her blog….listed below in ” blogs that I follow”, or go to www.courtneytoddphotography.com.

The Mossleigh elevators are a little down at the heel, and starting to lean into each other, but they’re still holding up the sky.
Most of their kind are gone, and what we’ve replaced them with are these hulking concrete terminals that block the sun! I wonder if, in 50 years we’ll be all nostalgic about the new ones and wish we still built iconic and interesting structures like that. Somehow I doubt it.

Here’s another trip down nostalgia lane. One of my road trip favourites is “Deanz Garage”. Located 20 or 30 miles east of High River, this lovely retro-garage has provided me with several painting opportunities…the latest being this one here. This summer I came by there, and instead of the usual ancient old trucks, he had this really bad-ass car. I mean what IS the story here? It’s a 40’s vintage somethingorother, with an Iron Cross for a rear view mirror, and yes, those are spikes across the sun visor! It’s painted matte black, and it looks just plain…..cool! So what is the story here? Any guesses?
