Edmonton River Valley Feels - 20 x 24 inch - Original on 3/4 inch depth
‘Edmonton River Valley Feels’ is a richly textured acrylic painting that captures the moody stillness of Edmonton’s iconic river valley, just after a storm. The scene opens with a winding river reflecting the heavy, silver-blue sky above, while storm clouds roll across the canvas in expressive, layered brushstrokes.
On either side of the water, dense greenery in varied tones—emerald, ochre, and deep forest—frames the composition, hinting at the late summer or early fall season. In the distance, the silhouette of Edmonton’s skyline rises quietly on the horizon, grounding the natural serenity in a familiar urban context. Wayne Gretzky bridge across the North Saskatchewan, adding a flash of human presence and anchoring the scene.
Painted with emotion and energy, this work feels like a visual echo of the storm’s passing—a moment of peace that follows nature’s intensity. I hoped to capture not just the view, but the atmosphere and emotional resonance of the place.
