Winter Stillness

Winter Stillness is part of a two-piece series exploring mountain reflections, inspired by some of my favourite landscapes in the Canadian Rockies. The Three Sisters are such an iconic part of Canmore, and I've always felt a deep connection with these mountains. There's something about their presence that feels like home.

This artwork captures the quiet beauty of winter, with the Three Sisters standing as guardians over the landscape. The composition creates the feeling of sitting along the snowy shoreline, taking in the magnificent peaks and their mirrored reflection in the still waters below. A shimmering, ethereal figure emerges between two of the peaks, adding an element of mystery and pointing to the unseen forces that watch over the natural world.

The reflection also speaks to the stillness we can cultivate within ourselves. As the waves of the busy mind and fluctuating emotions settle, there's an opportunity for greater clarity, allowing the strength and wisdom of our higher nature to be more clearly reflected in our daily lives.

Materials:

• Premium woods, including a variety of Black Walnut and Maple, as well as Elm and Butternut.  
• Epoxy (ecopoxy) mixed with dyes and pigments, which encases and covers the reflected mountains
• Handcrafted Douglas Fir frame, 2.25" deep, featuring professional joinery with a blackened finish and multiple coats of premium hardwood oil
