New Painting - Inspired by Willisville Mountain, La Cloche Mountains. · Aug 24, 11:32 pm

This painting was a private commission for a person, who like me, grew up with Willsiville Mountain in their backyard. Now living between Toronto and Whitefish Falls, he provided me with a photo of himself with his two nephews looking out at Frood Lake from the top of Willisville Mountain.

Since I don’t paint people in my landscapes, we chose to represent the people with 3 erratics.

And once the painting was done prior to the addition of the large central tree, the client decided to keep a clear view so we opted not to add the tree, as in the reference photo and sketch.

A lovely view indeed! One that I have climbed for over 35 years!

What an honour to paint such a great memory.
