Moraine Lake in the Valley of the Ten Peaks

Moraine Lake in the Valley of the Ten Peaks - Original Acrylic - 18" X 24"

This painting is of the beautiful Moraine Lake located in a valley in Banff National Park.  The lake is crowned by ten notable peaks. The valley can be reached by following the Moraine Lake Road near Lake Louise.  Interestingly, the Valley of the Ten Peaks, like my previous painting featuring Mount Burgess, was also featured on the reverse side of the 1969 and 1979 issues of the Canadian twenty dollar bill.  

Moraine Lake like many of her sister lakes in this part of Canada are an amazing green colour caused by the suspension of glacial sediment.   I caught this breathtaking view while hiking along the Southern trail on the lake.  

Another painting is on the way soon.
