My frequent painting trips to this special spot near Pinecrest, BC, always include my dog, Jasper. It's a view that stretches from Shadow Lake to  Cloudburst Mountain. This lake, a headpond for power generation, offers an incredible range of compositions due to its constantly changing water level and the ebb and flow of seasons and weather.

Meanwhile, Jasper finds his own joy here, happily exhausting himself digging and chasing tennis balls as they tumble into the water.

I hope this painting captures the immense joy I experience when painting outdoors.
