Oil painter · Okanagan, BC

I’m Mark. I paint outside, from life, in one sitting, wherever the van stops. Four winters on the road from Algonquin to Cabo, and every painting is pinned where I stood.

Each of these was painted on the spot, start to finish, before the light moved on. Here it is on the easel, in front of what I was looking at. Press one for its story.

Trips

Fly in.
This is where I stood.

Every pin on my map is a spot I stood to paint. Keep scrolling: the drone footage shrinks down into its pin, and the painting I made there appears beside it. Or drag the slider.

Eleven episodes from winter 2019, from Big Sur to Cabo: the drive, the spot, the light, the painting.
