Stawamus Chief Acrylic and Plaster 78″ x 64″
Since I have not been in the studio today, and in follow up to yesterday’s Lascaux Cave, I thought I would post this painting from a few years back of the magnificent face of the Stawamus Chief in the Stawamus Chief Provincial Park in Squamish BC. Although on a different scale to the Lascaux Cave, the technique once again used a combination of Polyfilla and paint, this time acrylic rather than watercolour.
There are three hiking trails on the Chief that take you to three different peaks where the view from each across Howe Sound simply takes your breath away.
With the new Sea to Sky Gondola however now it is possible to experience the same views with a little less effort, but definately with a lot less sense of achievement.
Here you can see the three peaks of the Chief viewed from the gondola on the way down to earth.
That is Awesome Andrew. very compelling painting. I love the wonderful array of tones in the painting, as well as your colour palette. really well done 🙂 lovely photos!

Beautiful BC indeed! Lovely post! I like the color palette of your painting and how you managed to reflect back with your tools the hardness of the stone, wonderfully executed piece.
