Some small A4 paintings completed. Love how the trees turned out.

Bonus points if you can name where these places are. Hint: Alberta.

Enjoy ☺️

For anyone interested in starting painting, oil paints can be intimidating because they are difficult to clean up, but having a jar of thinner and some wet wipes makes things so much easier. A big bonus of oil paints over acrylics is that they are very forgiving. You can leave your palette for an hour and not worry about coming back to dried paints. There are even oil paints that have a chemical to make them water soluble.

This page is all about my photography, but I've never shown any of my other artwork. I love oil painting. I haven't been doing it long, but it's so fun. Just don't mind the blob outside the border, I need better masking tape 😅

I haven't posted any photos in what seems like forever. I dusted the camera off and took a ton of Canadian rockies photos this summer. I hope everyone enjoys them.

1 - 8 Which is your favorite?

Thinking back to this incredible hike in Yoho National Park at the end of July 2021. I set out to hike up the Sherbrooke valley to Niles meadows. It was thrilling knowing I had the entire valley to myself at the start. I didn't see another hiker until nearly half way on my return.

The fires in BC had cloaked all of western Canada in a blanket of smoke. Most of the impressive views to the south were blocked by the smoke. The smoke itself created an eerie almost apocalyptic atmosphere. That coupled with the near complete silence as I passed through several meadows on the way, made for an unforgettable experience.

20km return - 1000m of gain
Also to note, the trail past Sherbrooke Lake is poorly maintained.

Fun fact:
In Thai language, they have different words for each number past a thousand: 1000 paan - 10,000 meun - 100,000 saen and 1,000,000 laan.

But in Lao language, it's common to say the same way as you would in English, saying the word for ten and hundred followed by the word for thousand and million as a seperate word. 1000 paan - 10,000 sip paan - 100,000 lawi paan - 1,000,000 laan.

Pictured is a handful of currency called the Laos Kip in front of a street in the Laos capital, Vientiane.
