Over several years I travelled through the area East of Edmonton and admiring the wide variety, types and splendor of the Lamont County churches. I have been painting these churches, in person and from photos, to try and capture some of the feeling and history of this area. With over 40 churches in the County I have visited all but have fallen short in trying to portray each one.
For more information on the churches please see http://www.lamontcounty.ca/visitors/churches/
and for a little information on some of the church domes see http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion_dome
The paintings were done as part of my final requirements for my Fine Art Certificate at the University of Alberta. Some of the works are shown below.
The Churches
Thank you for the information on the Lamont County churches. I am looking forward to your exhibition in June.
