There is something about an Edmonton evening that makes me want to stop and look a little longer.
Where the Evening Finds Us was inspired by that moment when the day begins to soften—the river catching the last of the light, the city sitting quietly in the distance, and the sky becoming the part you can’t stop watching.
The reference photograph was taken by my daughter, who loves photographing sunsets in Edmonton’s majestic river valley. I love that this painting began with a moment she noticed and wanted to hold onto, and then became something I could interpret through paint.
For me, this painting is about more than the view. It is about the places we return to, the walks we take, and those ordinary evenings that quietly become part of our lives. Warm peach and gold move through the blues of the sky, while the river draws your eye toward the distant Edmonton skyline.
At 24 × 36 inches, Where the Evening Finds Us has enough presence to become a focal point in a room while still carrying a peaceful, familiar feeling—a little piece of Edmonton and its river valley to come home to.
