There is something about familiar roads and evening light over the North Saskatchewan River that makes me want to slow down and take in the view.
Where the Light Leads was inspired by a view from North Edmonton, looking northwest toward St. Albert and Spruce Grove. I was drawn to the way the river moves through the landscape and how the last light of the day seems to stretch across the land and lead your eye toward the horizon.
I used expressive linework and layers of colour to capture the rhythm of the river and the openness of the landscape—not exactly as it appeared, but as the moment felt to me.
For me, this painting is about finding our way. There are times when we know exactly where we are headed and others when we simply have to trust the direction we are moving.
Where the Light Leads is a reminder to notice the light when it appears—and sometimes, to simply follow wherever it leads.
