Hockey at Dog Creek

Hockey at Dog Creek

We used to live in the Chilcotin where there are a number of cattle ranches. Outdoor hockey is very popular in the winter months, and I often stopped to appreciate the game and encourage its participants.

I have done a number of paintings of first nations people and daily life on a ranch. For this painting I added the horses watching the cowboys playing on an outdoor frozen pond. I used watercolors for their ability to capture the afternoon winter light.
