Mount Assinibloine in the Canadian Rockies
My Painting of Mount Assiniboine in the Canadian Rockies shows the mountain from the Northheast. Mount Assiniboine is located in Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park in British Columbia, near Banff National Park. Whenever I think of Mount Assiniboine, the feature that I remember the most, is the way the East face catches the sun in the morning, often causing the face to glow red/orange for a short time. The image below shows that effect, even more pronounced in the winter when the face is covered in snow.
I climbed this mountain when I was very young and I never forgot standing on the summit. It is a fairly uninteresting climb on typical Canadian Rockies shattered rock but the summit is very isolated; resulting this grand atmosphere when you view the world from the top! This led me to paint the form you see, with an exaggerated perspective in relation to its surroundings. The second image shows the classic view of Mount Assiniboine from the shore of Lake Magog.
The image above shows the Painting of Mount Assiniboine at Sunset on a standard-height, 8-foot wall to give you perspective on the size. If you click on the painting, it will open a link that will allow you to zoom in closer to the painting.
I hope you enjoyed looking at my work!
