I am happy to report that Kickinghorse Pass, British Columbia has sold at the Dragonfly Arts on Broadway in Orangeville. This painting was completed last spring 2016 during the studio weeks at the Advanced Individual Studies, Haliburton School of Art and Design.

It was by accident a couple years ago that we went over the Pass west of Banff. We were travelling to Banff but between the chit chat in the car and a long transport truck travelling just ahead of us on the right, we missed the sign for the Banff turnoff and continued unwittingly on our merry way. It had never seemed such a long trip to Banff from Calgary but we aren't locals so maybe we were mistaken.

The long trip short is that we ended up continuing on up to the Pass where we were lucky enough that our arrival coincided with a train taking the tunnel into the mountain. The mountain seemed like a huge wall in front of us, which is why I only left a little sky in the painting. We all know how big a diesel train engine is. Well it looked minuscule, smaller than a dinky toy train on that mountainside.

I am very happy for the new owner of Kickinghorse Pass, British Columbia. It is one of my favourites. Enjoy!
