Paths through the poplar forest are no more magical than in the winter when the shadows are cast in shades of purple over the snow. Some see shades of grey, but I think purples are far more fun!

This painting was inspired by the lush marshes around Neon Lake at Alberta’s Cooking Lake-Blackfoot Provincial Recreation Area. The standing poplars, beautiful vibrant yellow and green grasses against the water reflecting the blue sky are just one more beautiful scene the Alberta landscape has to offer.
