Medicine Lake

It's all that reality - you are in the world that you're painting. The light changes, the wind blows, things are constantly moving. You are forced to paint quickly and spontaneously. (Sherrill Cooper)


And then the bear arrives! The shot at left below shows me painting at the edge of Medicine Lake in Alberta. The shot on the right shows an uninvited visitor that arrived the next day as I was prepared to return to the site in the morning.


Needless to say, I completed the small watercolour in the comfort of my studio... and with a great story to tell!
