Along The Highway, study

Acrylic, 16 x20

This is a study I did in preparation for a large 4x5 ft painting for Mountain Galleries  I wanted to see how the composition worked and if I though it would work in a larger format...I think it will. This is a scene I pass every time I head to Banff. I've always wanted to paint it, especially when the snow is melting and creating all these great abstract shapes with the reds peeking through. My husband doesn't like to stop when we are travelling so I finally went myself to take pictures. I will be working on many smaller studies as I will be painting some really large canvases  for the gallery in the next few months...so excited!
