Our Favourite Spot

"Our Favourite Spot" is an original acrylic painting on gallery wrapped canvas.

Sometimes, spaces and places hold specific memories for you. And this bench, in Canmore, actually reminds me of one of my favourite commissions of all time. It was so long ago now, and the situation was hilarious. I was set to complete this commission for a couple who had recently gotten engaged right at this spot. However, my partner Ian and I both got Covid and had to isolate in his bachelor apartment. I brought my paints with me an during the second week of isolation worked on this beautiful commission. It brought me so much joy! And then friends picked it up and shipped it to the client for me (it takes a village). 

This painting is the first time I have revisited this subject since that commission and I wanted to bring in warmth and joy into this work. I based this off of a gorgeous photo that a friend sent to me, and I cannot get over the beauty of the reference photo composition. It is that perfect time when the snow is still visible, but the water of the stream is also reflecting beautifully. My wish is that you connect with this idea of a favourite spot, and if this isn't your favourite spot - if you go, it probably soon will be!

All acrylic paintings come varnished, signed and ready to hang!
