Carefully drawing then painting planes and details and the light at that moment is to be re-immersed in the landscape. Contact Canada House Gallery in Banff Ab for more details. 🇨🇦 4/4

As downhill skiers as well, we've enjoyed this view unfold along w/ skiers from around the world as one ascends the summit chair. I love watching visitors see it for the 1st time, unable to peel themselves way from the vista, jaws on the ground, eyes wide. 3/4

Icons all, the peaks and valleys form some of the most remarkable scenery in the Canadian Rockies. We have ski-toured into these valleys many times, savouring the silent solitude of winter, humbled by the sheer scale of surrounding peaks, grateful for the ability to venture there. 2/4

It does so suck! This is how it looked in 2008. Sigh.

The chateau's elegant interior is a thematic/aesthetic contrast to the frozen wilds beyond the arched window, a table for 4 reflects & accepts the landscape, an invitation to gaze on one of the most famous & sought after views in the 🇨🇦Rockies. #canadianart #banffnationalpark #lakelouise #watercolor

I know you think you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant. (yes it's old and not mine, but it's apt.)

Promptly tried to cancel my Play Alberta account, which required a phone call to their lottery help line, which I learned is based in the U.S. 😬 Also had to give over my personal info again in order to cancel the account. None of this felt comfortable.

Colours range from may green, cadmium yellow middles, ultramarine. Jet black shadows and specular highlights define each end of the value spectrum. The painting resides in a private collection.

Celebrating #Earthday "Call of Silence" (Watercolour, 24 x 48") I chose this for the sense of calm & silence to ease your stress while scrolling - hope it helps. Also, we are planning a return trip to this remote lake in B.C. this summer, and it is very much on my mind. Also, water is everything.
watercolour painting of a lake shoreline with the sun shining through trees, all reflected in calm water at sunset. Colours range from ultramarine blue, majenta and gold in the sky to jet black trees.

Friday in the studio: New watercolour nearing completion. This piece has been an exercise in patience (lost it a few times) and concentration (also hard to maintain these days!) but I loved the challenge. This level of detail is meditative and satisfying. Happy Friday, friends. #canadianartist #art🇨🇦

For World Day of Glaciers, from my archives - a few glaciers I've painted. The importance of glaciers to our planet cannot be overstated (I'll leave that to the experts www.un.org/en/observanc...) From this artist's POV, their elusive colour, cool incandescence & complexity is inspiration #glacier

Krista I think you've already pinpointed what you could work on, drawing & perspective. I believe drawing is to painting as walking is to running - not to say it's impossible to run without learning to walk first, but it is more efficient and will help you avoid injury ;)

Thank you so much! I feel watercolour is really underrated in terms of its flexibility and potential to render colours as vibrant and saturated as any other medium, in addition to delicate washes. It is a powerhouse medium!

"Skoki Afternoon"(watercolour, 21 x 14") The entirely analog experience at Skoki Lodge is rustic, yes, but elegant & restorative in its simplicity. Antique oil lamps are the only light source in the 1930 ski-in lodge, creating a glowing interior that contrasts/augments the winter landscape. #art 🇨🇦
Watercolour painting by Canadian artist, Jennifer Annesley, of a lit antique oil lamp lighting a log interior, next to a glass of white wine. In the background is a square 4-paned window looking out to a vista of a snow- covered mountain and deciduous trees. Colours range from firey yellow-orange & burnt sienna to cool blue and purple. Value range is complete, from pure white to pure black. Available at Canada House Gallery in Banff, Canada https://annesley.ca/availablechg
