Morning On The Athabasca
Buy This Tutorial Here - One of my favorite spots in the world is Jasper, Albert, part of the Canadian Rockies. Each year I taught a workshop in St.Albert and I would venture out to the national park for a few days backpacking after the workshop. The scene in Morning On The Athabasca is one I have seen many times on these outback excursions and every time they inspire me. Beautiful sunsets will always be one of favorite subject to paint, this particular one was even more spectacular than most so I had to paint it.
