I happened to be in ski country – although not in an area as challenging as Panorama, B.C., where Jon Howlett paints – when I thought of this transplanted British artist’s work. His hyper-realistic acrylics wonderfully capture the magic of the ski hill, as well as the mountain landscapes of British Columbia. (Above: Fresh Tracks)

I see faces in several of those … is it just me? Very nice.
Nope, not just you. And if you look at his full portfolio, you’ll see he does it on a grander scale from time to time, sort of mystically. Good catch!
Cool beans!
It’s like he’s skiing with the Group Of Seven!
Love it. Very astute comment Resa!
Thank you, Boomer!
