Wonder Pass. I tried painting on oil paper mounted on panel. It’s the worst! I might see if I can use the other panels for gouache painting or something. Oils in paper are just weird. The end. 😘

I painted these up at Lake O’Hara this summer. I thought they turned out not too bad considering the onslaught of mosquitos! I’ll be hanging these in my house just to remember the one time I was extremely lucky and got in first for the reservation rush ❤️!

Before our trip in July, I read The Lake O’Hara Art of J.E.H. Macdonald and Hikers Guide by Lisa Christensen. It’s the perfect companion if you love art and you’re visiting the area. It includes some short excerpts from MacDonald’s journal, which were fun to read and imagine what it would have been like back then.

Photo study from a trip last year. The lighting here was so stunning! I screwed up my plein air painting so it was fun to revisit with a clearer idea of where I had made mistakes earlier.

Castle Mountain + Marmot.

A 20”x10” oil painting. I tried my hand at painting bigger this summer. I have some even bigger canvases ready in the wings and I know just what I want to do with them! I am particularly happy with the marmot and the trees in this one.

Nigel Pass. This hike is so beautiful late in the season, when the small shrubbery starts turning bright red. We don’t get a lot of red autumn foliage out west but where we do it’s 👌

A study for a larger painting I’m planning! Not sure when I’ll get to it… but sometime!

I haven’t posted in a while because I’m working on something super exciting behind the scenes that I can’t quite share it yet! I did some painting earlier this summer so I thought I would share some of the little paintings I’ve been noodling around with.

Working with traditional media is a whole other ballgame, but super satisfying.
