Mt. Assiniboine

January 11, 2008


 

Mt. Assiniboine, Alberta 12H x 9W inch watercolor and graphite study from antique books of hand-colored "Vandyck Photogravures" of Canadian Rocky Mountains scenery, cards only

Mt. Assiniboine, about forty miles southwest of Banff, Alberta. 12H x 9W inch watercolor and graphite, study only, not available.
I inherited some charming antique books of hand-colored “Vandyck Photogravures” of Canadian Rocky Mountains scenery as it was at the turn of the twentieth century. The monotone sepia and few other pale colors add such a warmth to the already beautiful scenery in the 1910 photographs, and since I haven’t tried watercolors for years, I thought they would make perfect studies.
