Above the Sage

Western landscapes have always caught my eye and I have always wanted to learn how to paint them. Now that I have painted a variety of western art landscapes, I have a developed a newfound appreciation for those talented western artists whom have the ability to do this well. I am learning all that I can by studying this new technique, it’s a new way of painting for me and I am starting to look at our western landscapes differently.

As a portrait artist, I am trying to expand my horizons and it has been very difficult not to get caught up in the details. And horrifically…I love details!

So when a huge upcoming art exhibition and show was called to all of the Active Canadian Federation artists here in the Thompson Nicola Shuswap Chapter for the Kamloops “Communities in Bloom Festival”, I felt it would be a wonderful opportunity to ‘expand’ my world and try a new type of landscape. I put together a series of different photos I had taken of our western cattle ranchlands, for these entries had to represent the Kamloops area, and what a better image, than the beautiful vast open cattle ranges that are “Above the Sage” brush which is so significant to our area. It was important to me to include the working cowboy overlooking his paradise upon his horse. As he is quietly over looking his western homeland, maybe in reflection of the beauty that surrounds him or maybe in frustration, trying to search for that elusive cow gone missing.
