Memories of Alberta

After my sons went away to Alberta. Marge and I used to go there for visits sometimes. My son Robin and a friend had a small hunting lodge on a farm in the little farm town of Jarvie. The farm was owned by Pius Koenig. Marge and I used to live in the farm house with him and his wife Jean when she went to Alberta with me. I went on several hunting trips with my boys and their friends, then I would stay in the lodge. The very first time that I saw a deer it was I the tree line on that farm. That memory is what inspired me to paint this scene
