The Quintessential Prairie

Landscape paintings

As a Landscape painter, I have walked and painted in many locations across the prairies. It is hard to define what is a typical prairie scene, as it is quite varied and can be as extreme in colour and texture as the weather. What you think is flat can fall away revealing a river valley or an estuary teaming with life and foliage. If it is not happening at ground level, look to the sky.

I tend to paint and sketch what I observe and remember as significant, as to why I stopped at this place. My larger landscape canvases are produced in my Saskatoon studio, where I work from field studies and drawings created on location.

It is always something beautiful or thought-provoking to paint if you look. The changing light, reflections, and shadows are my catalysts that inspire and challenge new ways to visualize the prairie.

I hope you enjoy my vision of the Saskatchewan Prairie. The Quintessential Prairie is on display till October 19, 2024.

We can arrange payment method and delivery once you have found an image of interest.

I do accept the occasional commission, but only the ones that resonate with me. A conceptual sketch is created for approval and then a 50% deposit is required prior to starting the finished piece. The balance on delivery.
