Quattrocchi Art

Sundown Creek is a wonderful babbling rushing stream in the upper Elaho Valley.  Not even the extensive logging in the area can destroy its beauty.

Another in my Aspen series.  This one is of a forest in the vibrance of spring.  For me, spring greens are the most challenging to get to look natural.

Arbutus trees are an amazing subject to paint.  Their twisted trunks are full of texture and color.  I never tire of painting them.

Alpine meadows can have an almost abstract  feeling about them, with random bursts of colour on a green field.

Mist is a very challenging subject to paint, especially when it weaves and twists through tree trunks.

Sometimes everything is just perfect. The moon rising over the cedar trees and the sun sparkling on the fresh snow just begged to be painted.

Another painting from the magical South Chilcotin.  These wonderful meadows are located above Cinnabar basin, and stretch for miles.

Artists Helping Artists is a wonderful Art Co op in Burnaby.  The AGM was today.  Now I am not a huge fan of meetings, but this one was a lot of fun and now I am on the board of directors.  Here is my art set out in the lot to welcome everyone.

The South Chilcotin mountains of BC are an undiscovered painter's paradise. The mountains glow with a rainbow of colors when hit by the morning light.

The ponderosa pines of the Stein Valley are magical and powerful trees. They seem to reach for the sky and pull the sun down into the valley.

The largest image so far in the Kootenay Aspen series, this one was a heck of a lot of fun to paint. I was taken back to the lovely afternoon spent with my wife at Beaver Lake.

The vibrant Kootenay aspens glow in the late afternoon sun.  This is the third in the series.  I was fascinated by the way the sun caught and played with the delicate aspen leaves.

I have always been fascinated with waves, their movement and pulse. They almost have a heart beat.
