'Winter Sun Scia'new'
  oil on wood panel
8 x 10

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beautiful morning out at the ancient lands of 

Scia'new (''the place of the big fish,") today...

The Scia'new First Nations trace their ancestry 

to people who spoke four different languages. 

The community recognizes all four languages 

although they are not all currently spoken.

 The predominant language is now Hul’q’umi’num’.

This was painted last fall with Alf's up on 

Mount Tolmie. Though I have painted there

several times this view was a first for me...

How to use off cuts from truncated canvas boards! Fun. Patterns in the sky. Poles apart. I could use any of these titles but I confess to this being an ALLA PRIMA piece - there's no correcting if you just do it. Plein Air artists do it in the open whereas Alla Prima artists do it all at once.....
