#ripples in the #BowRiver and the surrounding #rockformations. The #transparency of the #softTurquoise of #turquoisewater of #JohnstonCanyon in #Banff is hard to capture in a #acrylicpainting, and the #whitewater portion of the #river is driving me nuts. By now I have painted it over five or six times and there is so much #painttexture #builtup that the top half looks like a different painting than the bottom half. This is the second version which is probably the best of the bunch, making me think of one of those perennial questions asked by artists: #amIfinishedyet? #Vancouverartist
#rocks #stones #transparent #fluidacrylic #diptych #vancouverartist #texture
