Title: Mosquito Creek

Date: 2009

Medium: watercolour on paper

Dimensions: 30.0 x 36.7 cm

Description: A winter scene with dominant colours of white, green, blue, grey, and black. The foreground, which is more than half the painting, is comprised of snow, ice, shadows, two sections of the creek starting from viewer’s left, with one bush and one coniferous tree to viewer’s far middle right. The dark water of the creek is visible from the bush at the right, flows under the ice and snow, and then reappears at the left-hand centre of the painting and flows to the viewer’s left hand corner of the painting. The top-third of the painting is a bank of coniferous trees, sparsely painted on the left, becoming larger and darker towards middle and then lighter on the right as the trees further back rise to the mountain range in the background. Snow and clouds obscure the mountain tops. The sky is light grey and white.

Title: Rundle

Date: 2009

Medium: painting on paper

Dimensions: 29.0 x 38.5 cm

Description: A summer scene dominated by Mt. Rundle and the trees that flank Vermilion’s first lake. The dominant colours are light and dark green, black, blue, brown and grey. The foreground is green and brown low vegetation, out of which a line of lodgepole pines, some dead and still standing, rise to two-thirds of the painting. Starting at the viewer’s far left, at mid-point, the branches of an aspen with green leaves fills the top far left of the painting. Vermilion’s first lake is visible though the lodgepoles and directly behind that, are the dark trees that line its opposite bank. Above the lake the lower slope of Tunnel Mountain is visible to the viewer’s left. The painting is dominated by majestic Mount Rundle, its lower slopes covered with muted green coniferous trees and its sheer rock face in varying shades of grey, blue, and brown. The deep blue sky has a few wisps of white showing through and some light grey clouds to the viewer’s right, above the peaks of the Rundle Range.

Title: Stormy Mountain Sky

Date: 2009

Medium: watercolour on paper

Dimensions: 31.3 x 40.0 cm

Description: A dark, stormy sky, and a large stand of partially burned trees on the viewer’s left, dominate the top two-thirds of the painting. The dominant colours are blue, black, green and brown. In the foreground to the viewer’s right are remnants of stumps and what appears to be fall vegetation, with charred tree trunks. To the viewer’s left is a charred stump of a burned tree trunk and above that a large stand of lodgepole pines with charred trunks, but with needles still on the tops of the trees. The stand of trees rise high into the stormy sky. Further away, behind the lodgepole pine trees, is a bank of coniferous trees in various shades of greens, that stretch across the painting. Above that, starting behind and to the right of the lodgepoles, mountains are visible; the first and farthest away, is grey with some snow visible, and then wooded mountains continue to the viewer’s far right to the edge of the painting. The dark, cloudy sky dominates most of the painting.
