My most recent painting is of this Foothill and Wetland Pond in Winter.This one is located just west and then south of the city, along one of the highways going towards Millarville, Alberta. The landscape and foothills here are very distinctive and it prompts drivers to stop and to have a look. Because of a mild winter this year, the pond was frozen over but no snow on the ground. The grasses on the foothills are always a brown ochre color in the winter months, but the evergreen trees are as green as ever. You can see inter spaced between them, the ghostly white Aspen trees and grayish purple sagebrush that is also part of this landscape. In summer, this area comes alive with both animals and waterfowl. Everything turns into beautiful greens and is also a great place to visit and paint for the day. I hope you enjoy seeing this one.
