I started sketching this piece of Castle Mountain three years ago, and then tucked the sketchbook away and forgot all about it. A year later I unearthed it again, and added some pen and ink line work to it. Yet again, life happened and it got stashed away in a gear bin for another year. When I was packing for my recent trip to Nepal, I found it again and finally put watercolour to paper, finishing it nearly three years after I’d started it. It’s moved from Canmore to Revelstoke to Calgary and back to Canmore, and looking at it brings back such a flood of nomadic memories. I’m so glad it’s finally in a frame and ready to head out into the world rather than back into a bin!

This 5x7” original painting comes float mounted and framed in a white 11x14” frame, ready to hang on the wall.
