Pinantan Country
March 5, 2018
Pinantan Lake is about twenty minutes from Kamloops, British Columbia, where we live. It is a small community spread around the little lake’s perimeter and prides itself on being independent, artistic, and avant garde.
Although this painting is not of an actual barn or photographed scene, it attempts to capture the spirit of what the area looks like under a snowy mantle when viewed from the road leading towards the lake. I’ve done it from my collective memory, rather than choosing to make use of photographs or while on location.

….many thanks for confirming this approach, Steve–your site is so worth exploring–educational as well as artistic

More power to you for painting “from collective memory” rather than from a photograph or from a scene in front of you.

Dear Lance – this is such a dreamy scene. I can just imagine walking through the snow in absolute silence. Thank you for posting today.
