The bow river summer colours are bright and full, along the rivers edge.  After a walk along the ridge the inspiration for this painting was to capture the softness of the light, using minimum contrast in the water, and creating distance in the background.  The mood of this painting deserved a special frame to set it off. 

Recent Review

As an artist, Sheila has used her art to fill her life with things she loves. Walking along the pathways, overlooking the Bow river, she returns to her studio inspired by the light on the landscape.  Drawn to the shapes in the trees , and rhythmic movement of the water, she organizes the elements; with a sense of truth and balance.

Acrylics offer her the opportunity to use watercolor techniques; layering colours with a glaze.  Its a medium that plays nicely with any other water medium.  She looks for the simplest way to express the subject.
