In this expressive soft pastel piece, I tried to capture the vivid turquoise waters and rugged terrain of Horseshoe Lake in Jasper National Park. Loose, confident strokes convey the raw, untamed quality of the rocky cliffs and sparse evergreens, while the bright blue-green pool at the center draws the eye and anchors the scene in calm, vibrant contrast.
With a palette that echoes the sun-soaked stone and shadowed forest edges, this artwork channels the spirit of plein air sketching—immediate, fresh, and alive with energy. My hand worked to bring movement and light to a beloved Alberta landscape, celebrating its natural color and textured terrain in a uniquely intimate way.
