Proud Paintbrushes

Framed original 16" x 40" acrylic on canvas.

“Proud Paintbrushes” was completed exclusively for the Pure West Art & Artifact Auction. It was inspired by the successful reclamation of the Canmore coal mines to the current recreational area now known as Quarry Lake. The coal industry was key to human survival as families and businesses settled the west in harsh conditions.
