Something new! Not the expanse of prairie this time but west coast BC! New palette new feel but same sense of space and escape for me #heartspacejasper #westcoast #vancouverisland #bc #fineart #tofino #seascape #ocean #pacific #storms #skyscape #painting #water #coastal #originalart #oiloncanvas #oilpainting #canadianartist #artincanada #gotmarriedonthisbeach

Happy accident! This recent installation happily ties in with owner’s family tartan colours, even down to the tiny amount of complement red colour! #heartspacejasper #colours #tartan #heritage #family #painting #oiloncanvas #originalart #installationart #artwork #livingroomdecor #blue #green #landscape #skyscape #storm #sky

Potent pair! Storms, but there’s hope. Life in 2021 perhaps. Look for the bright blue sky and the sunshine in life. Rain nurtures, storms challenge, sunshine gives us growth. These are both 60 x 30 inches #heartspacejasper #stormchaser #storms #drama #hope #colourtherapy #canola #summer #weather #skyscape #paintings #originalart #buylocal #oiloncanvaspainting #yycartist #yegartist #yegart #contrasts #yellow #blue

Excitement brewing! Charcoal sketch and then moulding paste slathered onto a huge canvas to give the energetic body of the eventual painting. New location, not so new subject! Can’t wait to share the end result... watch this space! #heartspacejasper #oiloncanvaspainting #texture #energy #fineart #underpainting #stormchaser #canada #originalart #buyoriginalart #yegart #yycart #charcoalsketch #myprocess #layers #oilpainting #oiloncanvas #tofino #wasthatahint

My 5 hour commute through the mountains to see my framer never gets old, even at -35! I've been doing business with Ted Smith for about 25 years. Some people and business relationships are worth the drive!
