"Johnston Canyon, Banff, Canada," Ross Barbera, Acrylic on Canvas, 36" x 48" 2019
The painting featured on this page is my most recent piece and is from a series dedicated to mountain streams and glaciers. The painting shows a view that I photographed while hiking along Johnston Canyon in Alberta Canada.
The dominant theme throughout most of my work is the natural landscape environment, and my paintings range from close-ups of water surfaces, trees and forest floors, to more encompassing views. Painted in acrylic on canvas and watercolor on paper, I strive to create images that communicate a sense of beauty, painterly integrity, and capture specific places in terms of time, light, space and texture.
