Sierra Nevada Snow Field
This is the painting I selected for this year's Chistmas card. I try to find something that reminds me of the cold, snowy Christmas season where I grew up in Canada. This scene is from a backpacking trip in the Sierras in which we encountered a lot of snow. One of our group almost landed in the lake after slipping from a traverse of a similar field on this side of the lake. Now that would have been cold!

Canadian West Coast
This painting in near-monotone colors was inspired by our many trips to the British Columbia Coast and in particular, the area around Tofino. The weather is often cloudy which casts a grey look to the ocean scene. In this rendition, I have stylized the trees to capture the wind-swept look they often have.
