About the work

This painting deals with the high country of the Monashee Mountains in the interior of British Columbia. It was one of my favorite areas in the province to paint and this one is in the spring and deals with the pinnacle that the Pinnacle Range is named after. The small lake that is in the foreground is known as a melt lake or puddle and only exists in the spring of the year. Once the upper elevation snow has disappeared the small lakes the melting snow ha produced dry up and the the lakes also disappear.

Esta pintura trata sobre las tierras altas de las montañas Monashee en el interior de la Columbia Británica. Era una de mis áreas favoritas en la provincia para pintar y esta es en la primavera y se trata del pináculo que da nombre a Pinnacle Range. El pequeño lago que está en primer plano se conoce como lago de deshielo o charco y solo existe en la primavera del año. Una vez que la nieve de la elevación superior ha desaparecido, los pequeños lagos que ha producido la nieve derretida se secan y los lagos también desaparecen.
