At the Edge

At the Edge - 30x30", acrylic ... SOLD

I absolutely loved doing this one! I started it on a purple background, and think it's a pretty good balance of cool and warm colours. It's from the cross-country ski trails up at Cypress Mountain, just north of Vancouver. I spent a few days there at a friend's cabin and we did a bit of snowshoeing through the woods while the sun was out. This scene captivated me with the funky shadows at the edge of the ski trail.

I really like this painting. You've used the perfect mix of warm and cool colors and I love the small touches of green. That blue shadow behind the trees makes me want to reach for my sweater. It really conveys the coldness of the shadow.
