Nass River Valley 2011

We spent many weeks up North and just got back yesterday and it was so enjoyable. We arrived there by air and met our friends which live in that friendly city of Prince Rupert. It rained quite a lot but the sun did make an appearance on many days too. There was so much to do in the city and we visited the Museum of Northern British Columbia; the exhibits were wonderful.

With all that lovely wilderness around we chartered a boat and took a sightseeing tour and explored the Nass River. The Nass was exceptionally fast flowing and high with all that rain and snowmelt. We found a safe place to tie up the boat and went ashore to do more exploring and many of us painted. This is a lovely oil painting on canvas of the Nass River and the valley. The waters had quite a mysterious force and were very gray and intense on that day.
